As you have probably heard by now, our house is currently on the market because Steve has gotten a new job down in Alabama. He likes the new job and the area we'd be locating to but we need to sell our house up here first and the housing market right now is slow here. Steve has been in alabama since June and I have been here with the kids. Steve flys up every 4 weeks to visit for a long weekend. He'll be here this Friday morning until Monday late afternoon.
To add to the slow market, we live in an area where everyone wants to be, BUT there is a lot of new construction and a lot of existing homes on the market. Wachovia bank was bought out and a lot of people relocated to St. Louis this past year, two from our neighborhood alone. We live in a neighborhood called Beckenham that has only 32 homes, 4 cul-de-sacs, but lots of families with kids. It is a great place to live with kids. My children just need to walk out the front door for playmates. Sometimes the kids all get together and play a game of kickball or wiffleball in the cul-de-sac. Our realtor told us we are competing with about 100 other houses just in the same price range and square footage in a 5 mile radius. Crazy, right? We'll see what happens...
