dream house = dream

i'm going out with our friend/realtor on friday to look around town. she cautioned us about the difficulties of buying property in howard county - not just the price tag, but the fact that alot of the good lots (even single lots) are already owned by builders and they are tied in to building your house.

so our dream house isn't out of range just yet but it's slipping further and further away. i have to keep reminding myself that we HAVE a house and we are lucky to live where we live and if we don't get to build our dream house, we'll be fine. we're in our early 30's for chrissakes. we have time. jeff and i are so damn impatient :)

Just keep your eyes open until you find what you are looking for. With this crazy market, you never know what will become available next week, next month, or next year! Besides, half of the fun is the looking and dreaming....
AND Money magazine just voted Ellicott City/Columbia as number 4 in the country for the best places to live. So you have to stay!! :)

I say buy the house on Trotter near Summer Sunrise, demolish it, and start from scratch. It's a beautiful piece of land!
