Quickie...

Home inspection didn't find much, but the house will need work. Am still torn and am waiting on estimates of repair costs tomorrow. Seems like too much house for just one person (me), but if I bail on it now... *sigh* Location's good, move-in date is awesome, price tag's steep for me but a good deal for the Market From Hell - I just don't know if I'll be able to put the kind of work into this house that I need to.

I mean, while the imaginative part of me is going, "We could do this and this and this," the practical part of me is slapping it and going, "Riiiight. You can't even keep your apartment tidy, stupid!"

I sincerely doubt I'll be able to negotiate on the price, there are two other contracts being held in reserve.

I don't love it, but I could always make it into something I love. Yeah, I could go back to house hunting, but let's be realistic: I will not be able to afford anything I really love in this market. I think the only reason my contract's the number one contract is because I don't have to sell a property of my own first, and the lady who owns it needs to be out by mid-June. I do need to give her a timely answer if nothing else.

Gah. I need sleep. I'll figure something out.

I'm sure whatever decision you make will turn out ok. I hope you're holding out ok. *hug*
