We're seriously contemplating selling. We've got 2 1/2 acres of partially wooded land that Hubster keeps like a park. As he ages, that will seriously be a problem for us all. As I age, I KNOW I'm not staying here and trying to keep up all this yard, nor do I want to have to rely on my sons to do it. Love my house, but as a former condo owner, I'd love to go back to living in one again to age in. Lock the door and travel for months!
He's interested in a smaller house w/SMALLLLLLLLLLLL yard. For me, if it's a house it Has To Have 1)no steps, 2)siding or brick, 3)an enclosed attached garage, 4)off the main busy roadways - I don't want to be some Granny who crashes someone backing out of my driveway and 5)hopefully close to shopping areas, doctor, dentist, eyecare, etc.
Our needs have changed. When my kids were younger they needed the large yard to play in and needed to know how to labor. This place provided that, but those needs are gone now - we are looking forward with our new and future needs in mind.
For the moment, we're enjoying having our house paid off and trying to do some upgrading and repairs that will be good for us if we stay and pleasant to a buyers eye if we sell.
