900 dollars reduction and a message that the price is non negotiable.

Here is how I spent the last 24 hours.

Mixed emotions about the realtor – are they working against us? Our realtor has an idea of the limit we could pay, so, is he using this to his/the transactions advantage?

Is the owner as set on his price as portrayed by the realtor? Does he/they have the time to wait for someone to pay the asking price.

What about me? When I am told that we need to have a stable home with our own belongings before the school year starts, and that where we rent now does not provide the level of comfort. This touches me.

I too want to have a place, I am resisting to give in to someone that does not reciprocate. This creates a feeling of disfunction in my way of thinking.

I set up a list of wants for a home and a community, all of the information is there. I am committed to commuting to work to satisfy most of our needs. I compromised on price already by countering almost half the difference.

Yesterday and this morning I meditated to bring clarity to my mind.

Is this another time to relax and be patient? Is there another better place for us that will appear before I leave to get the family?

It feels easy to take an optomistic approach, it comes with an uneasy sense of putting something off.

More questions:
Am I hesitating to buy a house?
Am I not considering fully the needs of others?
Too picky?
How concerned about the future should I be in terms of the limit that is to be paid for the house? The higher the purchase price the fewer the resources remaining.
Is time running out to be/get stable?

This is why I sleep and nap more, to rest from the thinking.

Breaking news:
we will still look in Chelsea, will call a realtor to get a lead on vacant land to buy, explore building a home as one that we are interested in is not available.

Looks like buy a second car is inevitable, even though one car is preferrable. Our country is built around autotransport.
