So this is a long delayed announcement…we finally bought a house! We’ve been looking for a house for seven increasingly exhausting months so it’s with pleasure and pure sense of relief that we found our little slice of Auckland.
Our search started with a long list of wants and needs, some more important than others though the priority changed frequently. Our budget grew progressively as we realized that there was no crisis in the Grey Lynn area. And then our desired location expanded. So the result of our searching checks off all of the boxes on our wants and needs list but is in Kingsland (which neighbors Grey Lynn) and is a good $80,000 more than our original budget. Isn’t house buying fun?
We move in on the 15th and we’re so excited and so pressed for time we don’t know which emotion to deal with first. My web design business has gone through the roof and my previous worries of not being able to get enough work have been long forgotten. Somewhere between working with my clients I’ll have to pack some boxes and get movin’.
