SOooo I posted last week about how I was about to be moving to a new house. The house is that of an old friend who moved away a few years ago and has the house for sale. He wasn't getting any offers, and so I asked to lease it from him for a while, with the possibility of buying it from him later. He liked that idea and offered to lease it to me until next summer, by when I shall have figured out what I'll be doing. We just talked about it over the phone, no real details, but he said he would talk with his real estate agent about getting me the keys and work out a deal with her, keeping the house for sale until the end of the year.

Normally I wouldn't want to rent a house that could be sold and thus leaving me with having to find another place, but again this is a long time friend and the house has been for sale for 2 years with no big interest (it's small, old, and there the housing market around here is overpopulated with cheap nice houses for sale...)


I planned on getting this keys this week. I called him again to arrange the details and as it turns out he had just been in contact with his real estate agent, and somebody had made an offer on the house. He isn't sure if it will go through or not, and if not, says he'll go ahead and let me know ASAP.


So I'm most likely back to house hunting, again. The keywords "affordable" and "new/nice" and "spacious" cannot be had at the same time when looking for an apartment around here.
