The only thing harder to find in Atlanta than a man is a home

4/02/2009

Okay… so really, I haven’t been looking for a man. The lack of is just an observation that a blind person could make. But, I have been looking for a home. I mean… your girl got a good job (thankful for this everyday) and with as much as I’m paying in rent every month I may as well be paying a mortgage. A lot of people say this, but I really mean it. You do not want to see the check that I have to write every month.

Now, I have been looking HIGH and LOW for that perfect home. The one that just screams Victoria… but seeing as that hasn’t happened yet, and I’ve been looking since October, I’ve expanded my search to include homes that just say it very loudly. I mean, I watch a lot of HGTV, as long as it’s got the potential I can spruce it up a bit. Little paint, little love, you know.

But tell me why, the few places I have been interested in have been on the market for 9789 days with no interest and the minute I decide to put in an offer everyone else wants to too. I swear, it’s just like people… nobody wants you till someone else does. So, with that being said, I’m still without that perfect place. My lease is up on March 9, so if I don’t find somewhere soon, you just may see me & Tyson chillin in midtown with the rest of the homeless folks cause I refuse to sign another lease or go month by month.

Pray for me good people.

    I’m in the same position up here in Chicago. My deadline is early April. Have you tried Trulia? I love Trulia. For some reason most realtors are not returning my phone calls…and the ones that do are having issues (death in family, sick kids, etc.)????? *sigh*

    @ Stacy – sucks to hear you’re in the same position as me… but at least you got a little more time than I do left. I checked out trulia a couple of times, but it wasn’t much help, I’ll have to check it out again. I stay on realtor.com and craigslist though. Good luck to ya!

    @ FlyHoney – thanks girl! I’m still hopeful, got my fingers crossed and everything. I’ll get real nervous in about 2 weeks if I still haven’t found anything then. Hopefully it won’t get to that point though.
