Happy three month anniversary to Where'sMy.House!
As expected the last ninety days have provoked more questions than answers, but what a fun kick-off to the journey. Lyle and I have toured just shy of a dozen neighborhoods and although we haven't fallen madly in love with any of them, we did come pretty close once or twice.
The highs and lows are staunch and I imagine they only get worse as we become more serious about home purchase. None of the press about millennials diving into the real estate market depict a bright outlook. With careers birthed in recession and cost of entry being high, it's difficult to turn dreams into reality. Lyle and I remain optimistic though.
The highlights of the past three months have included:
Belle Harbor: We both loved this beachside neighb relatively close to Manhattan. In January, we're going to go back to check it out when it's chilly.
Cold Spring: We were charmed by this quaint town on the Hudson, but it's too far to commute. Would we relocate?
Harlem: I dug on Harlem (although I'm not sure that Lyle felt the same). It would be a great investment opportunity annnnnnd incredibly close to the jobs we already have.
For now, we're going to enjoy the holiday season and look forward to many more neighborhood tours to come!
