Glenn and I get asked this question A LOT! So I wanted to write a little post about that. Right now Lindsay lives in a rental house in Chico with 2 roommates and the dogs. Glenn lives on the ranch in Jess Valley in our cute little camp trailer! :) We have been throwing ideas around for housing for a while...we obviously need something before September! And we don't want to rent anymore - we really want a house that we can work on and call our own.
As for the real estate market in Alturas...prices are still really low, but we're cheap and want a good deal! We looked at a few houses and weren't impressed...then we went and looked at some manufactured homes and lots for sale in town...closer, but we were still afraid the costs were going to get away from us. For some reason we started looking at a house in Likely that has been for sale for a long time...and then right after that the price has dropped $15,000! And we hadn't even talked to a real estate agent yet! Anyway...we called the agent last week and Glenn went over a few times and peeked in the windows and looked at the house and lot. It's brick, very solid, very nice on the outside. The inside is a different story, but we originally wanted something that we could work on ourselves and this looks like it might be it! We haven't seen the bathrooms (apparently they're very colorful) but everything works great. We feel like everything just might be falling into place, so cross your fingers for us! I'll post more if this is what we decide to do...so any good vibes and advice on buying a house would be greatly appreciated! We are already pre-approved for a loan so hopefully with everything that is going on we can squeeze this in so we don't have to live out on the ranch for too long.
Here is a link...let us know what you think!!
