Otherwise occupied

July has been a slow month for posts here on my blog. There's a reason. I've been looking at buying a house. While that's not taking all of my time it is taking all of my energy and creative thought. I'd love to have my own place (with a tricked out game room) but this whole process is driving me nuts. Just thought you should know.

You're not helping orphie.

I made an offer on a house but got outbid. When I thought about looking again the first house on my "to see" list my agent found out had a squatter locked in the bedroom and that another agent had to call the cops to get them forcibly removed.

Did I mention the houses in my price range are dumps? It's not very encouraging.

When I was shopping for a house, I had placed a bid on one in particular, but never heard anything back. Presumably, I wasn't offering enough. A few months later I saw the same house was still listed in one of those real estate trade magazines you find at the grocery store. Curious, I called the agent listed and he told me the house had sold the week before. When I asked him how much it sold for, he gave me a price less then what I had bid. Where's the sense in that?

Fine Pogue, if you want to move in I'm charging you rent (and you better be nice to me or it just might be more than the mortgage payment) :)

The way things are going I just might call the whole thing off and buy a time share instead . . . or lots of video games.
