COMMENCE BIG ADVENTURE: finding a home

So, last year, we sold our tinywiny condo (due to the fact that two became three), and steered ourselves in the direction of bigger housing.

Our shopping list was short:

1. Single family 3 bdrm home.
2. Garage.
3. Yard.
4. Walking distance to train


So really, how hard could that have been when the housing stock is so high right now? Well, in our price bracket – like trying to find something on the menu at Starbucks for under a dollar -even with the steals of deals that were being listed left and right.  Again, enter state of economy. We found ourselves compromising our ideal location (which was Oak Park near the train, by the way) and a whole lot of other things in our desperate attempt to find something in time to take advantage of that bone the pres threw us come tax time. (And get our child’s bed out of a mechanical room).

Whaaaat?

Don't ask.


We looked and looked and were coming up with nada.
