i'm taking a small break from my current project and just got back from taking sydney for a walk around the neighborhood. its beautiful out there! sunny, warm, and the hope that spring is just around the corner.
i also noticed quite a few "for sale" signs on the walk. we try to check out the open houses in the neighborhood to get an idea of what others are selling for in comparison to ours. there have been several on the market over the past year in the range of 120-150, with one on the market now for 180. [haven't hit that open house yet]. and seeing these houses, that are either smaller than ours, with outdated or poorly remodeled rooms, or only 1 bath ... it just gives me a big smile on my face. because that means that when our house goes on the market, we'll be able to sell for more than we had originally planned and budgeted for. which means a larger profit than estimated :) i love our house and what we've done, but we both know we'll be moving on and starting again. we'd eventually like to renovate an old tudor house, a ranch house, and who knows what else. we enjoy the hard work and seeing how it pays off.
once we get back from france [woo hoo! 1 week away!], we'll get back to work on the bathroom. plus, our new offstreet parking spaces will be started this week. we're certainly keeping busy :)
now, back to work for a few hours.
