How-ses!

Lately we have been looking at houses, or as we like to call them, "how"-ses. Everything around here is a lot more expensive than it should be, in our opinion. All the houses are so expensive, in fact, that we have become extremely skeptical of any good deals. Take the house down the street for example: $180,000 for about 1000 square feet. That's not very big, but neither is the price. Seems reasonable, right? Wrong. There are cracks all over the foundation, which we only discovered by talking to some of our other neighbors. We are not going to deal with something like that for only 1000 square feet. Anyway, so that is how the house search has been going so far. Luckily we have all summer in this tiny apartment until our lease runs out. Yipee.
