Started a new job recently and I work entirely from home, which finally means I can live somewhere where house prices aren't absurd. Honestly never thought I'd be able to own a house, but we're now seriously looking at doing it imminently, and we're even driving up the coast to look at some tomorrow. Daunting process.
I keep finding these pre-MLS listings that seem too good to be true... And they all turn out to be derelict trash houses that need to be demolished and rebuilt. Wish I could train myself out of looking for a bargain, but it just feels like such a huge purchase.
