I really am home shopping! :D:D:D It was my original goal to own a house at 35. I won't make that one, but I might possibly manage 36. It is just me, yes, on a bit of a shoestring budget. (This is one of the reasons I'm preferring No. 1, right now; No. 2 is a little intimidating, project-wise, though in the end it is by far the more beautiful house. I think I will have enough money to do the work required for No. 2 if I hire the contractors sparingly--that is to say do most of the work myself, and only hire people to do the things I could not possibly do myself. Like the bathroom. And I do like doing home projects, so it might work out, but I would have to plan very, very carefully.)
As for how long I'm going to live in it: to be honest, I don't know. I am a nester by instinct, and tend to want to stay in places a long time if circumstances allow it, and really, I could see living in either house for the long haul. But circumstances do sometimes intervene, and my job situation is a little uncertain ATM, so I might end up having to sell out and move to a new city, eventually.
I would venture to say, though, that as long as I would be in my current town, I would be in the house I end up choosing. I am not the sort of person who'd want to trade up every few years.
It is exciting, isn't it?! But terribly scary, too.
