Contemplating a Change of Scene
Oct. 13th, 2008 01:50 pmWe're thinking about moving.
The apartment has been fantastic for settling into Seattle but I'll be honest and say it's feeling a little claustrophobic right now especially with the Furkid running around.
We had started looking at options to buy but the reality is this isn't time to buy somewhere. It probably won't be for a year or so, plus we don't have the deposit together for the kind of mortgages available at the moment.
So we've been thinking about places to rent in the area we were looking to buy. So far, so good. I saw a place today that would really work out well and has the benefit of saving us over $600 a month in rent. So, more room (plus attic and basement), a garden, and still within walking distance of lots of bars and shops. It's on Capitol Hill nr 15th for those interested.
So, downside: no facilities like we have in the apartment complex, and no spectacular view.
OTOH - the view will be pretty much gone for the next 6 months.
Anyway, fingers crossed, I'm taking M for a look tonight and we'll make an offer if she likes it.
