I sure hope we don't have to sell in this market, as I'm sure like most, we'd lose money. For that reason, we are careful not to put any MORE money into the permanent structure of the home (it's fairly new still so it'd be cosmetic) but just into things we can take with us that still make it more fun to live in. Selling is such a big decision. We've done it a couple of times now.Hyphen Interiorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306659332514530934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-89767840078928215352011-05-19T08:55:13.425-07:002011-05-19T08:55:13.425-07:00I am so glad you're not stressed about this an...I am so glad you're not stressed about this anymore.

Designing or renovating home isn't just about colour choices and picking furniture it's about creating a home which obviously you have done. I think you guys made the right choice - why lose money when you don't have to. The time will come to move and create another home this just isn't it.Emma at The Marion House Bookhttp://www.themarionhousebook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-73506700810254807862011-05-18T18:34:13.367-07:002011-05-18T18:34:13.367-07:00thanks for your honesty. i am so glad that you ha...thanks for your honesty. i am so glad that you have a secure feeling about your choice and a good husband wanting to be your champion. when things are right it will be right.Stephanie Mosselmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433216274855668273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-34774319630751694782011-05-18T10:53:49.712-07:002011-05-18T10:53:49.712-07:00Oh my goodness sounds like you have been through q...Oh my goodness sounds like you have been through quite the process lately.

I am so glad you trusted the panicky feeling and decided to stay.<br /><br />The only time I'm tempted to move is when I'm reminded of the 'transitional' quality of OUR neighborhood, via loud music, horns, yelling, or 7 year old kids who don't know what a raspberry is.<br /><br />Keep your chin up!Holyoke Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13565635012535449422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-29166055334596114632011-05-18T07:18:21.289-07:002011-05-18T07:18:21.289-07:00That is quite the ordeal you have been through--th...That is quite the ordeal you have been through--thank you for sharing your thought process and where you are at now. We don't own right now but I know our first home will not be our forever home and have a feeling we will face many of the same issues which is why this post was so enlightening :)<br /><br />How do you pass the time during your 2 hour commute every day? Radio?

And bonus that it means you may not lose as much money in the process. <br /><br />If I had a penny for how many times my focus on one single goal had me missing the bigger picture...well, I'd be a rich lady. :)jane @ The Borrowed Abodehttp://www.theborrowedabode.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239260988309861926.post-54719426547096513312011-05-18T05:46:23.900-07:002011-05-18T05:46:23.900-07:00Jenn- I know exactly how you feel!

We love our house and I will miss it dearly and it terrifies me to leave, but since we don't even want to be in this city or state anymore, our options are limited. I have come up with this satisfying theory of how even though we will lose money on the house, in the end, if we rented we would have paid more and blah blah blah.<br /><br />ANYWAYS, congrats on your decision. I know it's hard to live in a rough neighborhood and that commute must be tiring. You will KNOW when it is time to move. Your house just isn't done using you yet!<br /><br />SamanthaSamanthahttp://www.samanthamuse.comnoreply@blogger.com
