Though I thought my decision about buying a townhome was final, I spoke with a realtor and she suggested that owning a single family home at the price I have in mind might be possible, but it might mean moving out of the city or even the state I am in now. Works for me!
So I have done some exploring and I found a single family new home neighborhood in a nearby town with prices that fit my budget. The homes surround a lagoon (really pretty water) and there are wooded lots, too.
The models offer 3 bedroom and 4 bedroom homes, which means I should be able to create a homeschooling space and have the healing room I want. And I think there is a fireplace option.
I drove out to the neighborhood, and even stopped to have lunch at one of the quaint restaurants this small town offers, but haven't actually seen the inside of a house yet because I am waiting to go with my realtor. And she wants to wait until we hear back about the loan, so I will know exactly how much I have to spend.
Could I move to a neighboring state, to a small town and a lovely neighborhood? I think so!
The laws for homeschooling are more strict, which adds a bit of hassle, but nothing I can't handle. And I like what they have to offer in the local homeschooling co-op.
So we'll see! I might be on to something.
Have any of you moved away from your hometown? I have several times, but it never occurred to me that I might do so again so soon. I was thinking I'd wait until my son went to college.
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
