Dateline: Home Study

There may well be a move in our future, but I’m not sure. Apartments are being being built across the road from us, the owenr of the land next to us is interested in our property, and I suspect the university is also interested in it given what they already own around us. I don’t really want to move, I like where we live for the most part–it is very convenient to work and football games–but it can be a little loud at times. I like students, but I also don’t want to live too close to them because I’ve already lived the life they are living now and I know there is something better after college.

I am also working myself into the idea that our days in this town are limited as well. The more I visit other places the more realize how much I miss by not being in a larger area. So, I see five to seven years here as being perhaps as long as we want to stay, depending on how things go at work.

So, if our days are limited, then what will it take to get us to move? A new house will need to be able to be sold easily. We will need to be able to make a little money on it to make it worth the move. And, perhaps most importantly, we will have to get enough for what we have to make it worth our while–and I really hate moving so it will take a fair amount. I’m also confident that our property value will only go up so time is on our side.
