I’ve been looking – nay, scouring – for a great place for what feels like quite a while now. I don’t need an enormous place – I just want an extremely well maintained, well-laid out and pleasant place to call home. No tiny boxy rooms; no single pane windows; no bathrooms so small you have to turn sideways to flush the commode.

I’ve seen plenty of up to date places that were way too big. Plenty of small, choppy, haven’t been updated in 40 years places.

Is there no market for what I’m looking for – does no one build or want the same things I do?

I’ve reached out to a real estate agent, as all my searching to date has revealed only one or two decent possibilities. I’m going to see them this next weekend; hopefully, the agent will be able to pull a few more choices out of the ether so I can get this goal completed.

I just want to move on to the living part of the equation, rather than being stuck in the find stage.
