  What Do I Do?
I don't know what to do. As many of you know my wife and I have been searching for a house for some time now. Well...this is crunch time. Seriously, what I am telling you is that in a week's time Kelly and I will have a new house.

It's down to two...and OH MAN it's a dead even heat. I need as much input from every possible source as possible to help with the decision. Kelly and I REALLY don't know what to do. The decision is between building a new colonial house in Brunswick Hills using Ryan Homes (hereafter called the Ryan Home or "Ryan") and buying a 1987 built ranch style house in Strongsville on Jonathan Road (near Jake and Pam, hereafter called Strongville Home or "SH").

The pros and cons list is so perfectly, intricatly balanced that we have no idea how to procede.

SH (remember, that means the Strongsville Home"), assuming we bargain for 5% off of the asking price, it is 94% of the Ryan price, which is not negotiable past what we have bullied them into already. But, Ryan is a new house so maybe that is a justified expense. The argument really comes down to "New" versus "Established".



Believe it or not that was just what I quickly wrote off of the top of my head. We have a lot more to consider...yet in a few hours Ryan Homes expects us to inspect the housing site(s) and start the ball rolling. I plan on telling them they have to wait a few more days while we consider a few more things. The deals we have going with Ryan are definitely temporary, making this decision very sensitive to time.

What do we do?
 
Comments:
Do you think you could save heating $ by moving to the SH this winter instead of renting papitos house?
 
Yes, I could save on heating by moving out of this current house as soon as possible. As a measure of caution we have decided to not turn on the heat this winter and instead ask our friends to host a lot of sleepovers this winter.
 
Hmm...good points. Although neither of these houses is as close to a Marcs as I'd hope they'd be (close enough to shop there, though). I did take a few pictures of the SH, so maybe I can pop a few of those up at some point.
 
Well, we KNOW the neighborhoods are not full of old people if there's no Marcs around. Old people are drawn to Marcs like bees to honey.
 
Are bees really drawn to honey? I thought they made honey, and that they were drawn to, like, flowers.
 
Listen, Jason, don't punch a gift horse in the face.
