ich bin der hausjäger.

went looking at more houses today. we didn't get the one we liked in shoreline (that we made an offer on), and our contingency plan is already off the market...

we found two today that were decent. was was very large but not as nice and in a somewhat sketchy neighbourhood... other was much nicer, in a better neighbourhood, but quite a bit smaller.

between these two, we'd have to decide what is more important.... having that nice size rec room in the basement, but sacrifice elsewhere (garage, neighbourhood, etc) or go for something nicer, but without as much space?

again, there's no slam-dunk, home-run, generic-sport-reference decision to be made. both of these houses have positives and negatives. we're leaning towards the smaller, nicer house closer to downtown, but won't make a decision until next month. we want to go look at some more houses, and our agent assures us there will be a surge of new listings after new years.

hopefully we'll make an offer on something we like by the second week of january. it be nice to be moved into something by the end of february.
