Impatiently waiting

When we first moved back to California in late October of 2006, our intention was to buy a place to call our own. We had sold our little townhouse in D.C. for a tidy profit and had a nice chunk of change for a down payment.

We were amazed at how much rental house you could get....so we went a bit overboard. I was planning to work at home so I didn't want to feel too claustrophobic....and we have two young children as well as lots of family and friends we wanted to have come visit regularly. So yes, we now are the proud renters of an enormous 5br 2700 sqft house. Its over twice the size of our humble 3 little townhouse who's kitchen only had one drawer and no garage.

It didn't take too long to figure out that rents in the area are a much better deal than buying.....and so we sit.....waiting very impatiently for prices to come down.....my husband and mom are tired of listening to me discuss the housing market ....and hence this blog was born.
