house

Ok, so this is our housing situation:
We own a house in Alberta that is currently being rented out and is up for sale. It has been like this for three years, not much moving in the way of houses in that small town.
We have been renting here for the past 3 years, and rent is NOT cheap!
We want to buy a house and land out of town, but realize that because we plan to leave the country, a good caretaker may be hard to find for a large property.
So, our idea is now to buy a house IN town, and possibly sell it once we are back from overseas.
We've been looking at homes off and on since our move here, saw another one yesterday. It's what we need, in our price range, and i'm PRAYING it's the one!!
Oh, how i long to set up my house, to paint, to decorate, to fix up! It's so hard to set up a nest when you don't own it. :(
I'll keep you posted on this one for sure!
but as i say,
One day at a time!!
Darcie.
