In the current state of the real estate market, selling a home is very easy… but buying a new one is another story altogether. We’ve been looking for about six weeks now and we’ve just now found a place that looks like it’s a go on all fronts. We’ve been pre-approved for the loan, which is usually what’s problematic for folks, but for us it’s finding the right place, with the right schools, the right interior and exterior size, etc. It’s not that we’re picky to the point of craziness, but rather that homes are being sold in less than 24 hours (like ours was) so finding the really good houses has been tough. Really tough.

Today is both sad and joyous because we’ve got a nice fat check in our hands (that’s already all but spent) since we closed on selling our home today; but it also means that we’re back to renting… renting the home we owned just 24 hours ago. It’s a very odd feeling.
