I’ve been out on the town looking at condos. Yes, I am attempting the ‘what seems like impossible’. I want to become a (gulp) homeowner…

A couple of weeks ago I began looking at some places with a realtor and found a place that I simply adore. It was on the higher side fo the price limitations, but I felt like it was the place. It had been on the market for 68 days, which is a long time these days. But as we know things are changing slightly, so I my realtor and I thought that perhaps we could give a low offer and I could get the place for under the asking price.

Upon further research by my awesome realtor, we found out that the seller has received many offers, including one for the full asking price, but turned them down, without even a counter offer. (damnit!) This guy is completely deluded. The housing market isn’t going that way anymore and may even start to drop. Obviously he isn’t a motivated seller.

I’ve been trying to let the idea of this place go, but it’s perfect. It has all the things I’m looking for. It’s in West Hollywood, it has a sizable deck, room for improvement, a pool and common patio and trees to cover the view of the street.

So today I am going to look at some new places. We’ll see what happens, but I can’t get this property out of my head. I guess, the good thing is that now I have an idea of exactly what I’m looking for…

(sigh)
I’ll update this when get back.
