Paul and I have talked abou...Ah yes, home shopping! Paul and I have talked about that. We briefly tossed around the idea of getting a house now instead of renting another apartment, but then we decided it was just too soon, what with the new job and the new marriage, etc. We also aren't sure what area of Atlanta we'd like to eventually settle down in; I'm hoping to move back to northwest suburbs if possible. We'll see. :-) That's exciting about Indy housing markets! Although it doesn't surprise me. It seems that the average price of houses in Atlanta is almost twice as that in Indianapolis! Maybe I'll move up north. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Paul and I have talked about buy a townhouse first, and then getting a house house once our family grows bigger. We've always said that we don't want to spend more on rent than we would on a mortgage. We're probably close to doing that now with this new apartment, which is why we'll only stay here for a year or two. It all depends where God has us when it comes time to renew our lease! :-)<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you and Josh are looking at the future wisely, and saving your money! What a great feeling it will be when you are able to put a significant down payment on a piece of land all for your own! You'll reap the rewards when the time comes. :-) Like when you get the little puppy!!<BR/><BR/>(I had to wait for a yard too, which is why the townhouse is good! But a big reason for us is because I didn't want a puppy and small children at the same time, so we're getting the dog <I>now</I> in anticipation for a family <I>later</I>.)ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982050095869237882noreply@blogger.com
