We spent the day looking at some open houses and are thoroughly depressed. Every house we look at is hideous. There was one house in our ideal neighborhood at a reasonable price (reasonable in Wilmington = $279,000) but it looked like something we would have made (which is not pretty). It had 4 different kinds of flooring, Pergo upstairs- probably laid down directly over the carpet, a really nice backyard, and 2 sailboats in the sideyard which the realtor said could convey (I've always dreamt of having a secret ship cabin getaway in my house). It would take so much to get this house happy and it had a formal dining room- the kinds with two openings that you can basically do nothing with other than stash some furniture in there or use it as a playroom that is always messy and on display for anyone who comes over.
We are hopeless today that we can find a house that will make us happy. Next Sunday, we will spend the afternoon looking at infill lots- something there are not a lot of around town.
