home sweet home

I am realizing that my inner being craves time at home doing domestic things like baking and cleaning. I believe this has a lot to do with how much I love the space I live in. Buying this condo is the best thing I've done in a very long while. Everyone who comes here usually says one of two things: "It's so peaceful." "It's so cozy." These phrases are usually uttered while looking around with a smile.

The journey to owning this condo was wrought with a little drama however. I remember looking at pictures of this place online that my realtor had sent me. I remember thinking "that place is probably gone already. I could never get that place." Then when I started looking my realtor brought me here and instantly I felt inside "I want to live here." I put an offer in. Then the drama began. Possession dates. Renegotiation of the price because of some inspector stuff. My realtor advised me to walk away. So I did. I was really sad. I started looking at other places while mourning the loss of this place. Nothing really seemed right. After a few weeks went by my realtor called and asked if I was still interested. The rest is history and here I am. Sitting on my new couch in love with my condo.

I guess the old adage about love is true about real estate too. If you love something, set it free. It will come back if it was meant to be.
