Moving is fun. Very, very fun.
We’ve recently decided that the planets are close enough to being aligned for us to make a major change in our lives. We started looking a few weeks ago at model homes in the area, but the market is so hot in Salt Lake right now that even with the appreciation on our home we are still priced out of anywhere nearby. Since we really wanted to build our next home and we’re not obsessed with our current neighborhood, we began to look slightly southward at a new and developing community. We finally found what we were looking for, and put some money down toward a nice two-story home on a quarter-acre lot with a great view of the valley and the lake.
Now we’re selling our current home and getting everything ready for the move. I’m not too worried about how things will work out, we’ve already bought a decent amount of equity into our new home and our current home has seen a ton of activity in the last week and a half. It is going to be a good investment for us, both financial and in life changes. I just hope that I can pull enough out of our current home for me to start making some other investments I’ve been wanting to get into…
