We have looked at quite a lot of houses. Three we went inside of and one we made an offer on. The one that we made an offer on was sold to someone else and the other two were not that great. What seems to happening is that there is a big shortage of houses for sale. The good ones,  in a good location and at a reasonable price are gone in a few days. Some are coming back on the market possibly because the buyers could not get financing. Most seem to be selling for cash to bulk buyers who are fixing them and then renting them. It is quite a challenge to look on Redfin to see what has just been listed and get out to see it asap. We are also limited not just by price, but also by location. We need to live within a reasonable distance to here because the horses will be staying.
So hopefully soon more people will decide to sell their houses and we will have more choice.

Well life goes on and I have a choice to be mired in depression or uplifted by joy and inspiration. Once again I am re reading The Power of Now and it is such a tremendous help.
Every time I read it I see something new that I had not noticed in previous readings.
But the basic concept is to live life in the present moment. Not to spoil things by thinking what if or remembering what I had.
I am putting more energy into the garden around here, or what is becoming more of a garden.
Instead of waiting to move, I am thinking more of what I can be doing now.
