House Hunting Is LAME.

C and I go through this every 6 months or so. A month before our lease is up (we only ever sign 6 month leases) we start looking for a house...closer into Austin. Mostly because that's where we both work and the commute sucks. We've been in our current place for two years now. 

We're only interested in renting mostly because we I have no urge to own a house yet. Also because there's a strong chance we'll end up moving to California for C's job soon. So what's the point? Anyway.

We can never find anything within our budget. He's pickier than I am. And the neighborhoods that we can afford? I would never live in. So when something pops up in our Realtor app that looks super cute and the price is right? 

I jump on it.

So we drove into Austin on Sunday to go check out the area, to decide if we want to meet the listing agent and move forward with the whole thing. 

Long story short, I'm glad we decided to drive by before we met up with the listing agent because? I would not have gotten out of my car in that neighborhood. OMG. So scary. I was bummed because the photos online were SO. CUTE. 

I guess that explains the great price. 

Meh.

So we're back to square one. There is another house just a little further north of Austin, but still closer to our jobs than we are now, but it's going to be hard to work with the listing agent on that one because she "Doesn't work after 7pm or on Sundays." Must be nice to have her job.

I really hope we get to at least see it so I'll stop thinking about it. I have got to get out of this apartment and away from our LOUD neighbor who SLAMS the damn door every hour of the day. Honestly. Who in the hell goes in and out of their apartment 293,529 times a day? I am jolted awake at 3 am by the sound of that door. And her mouth. And her music. I'm so done with her. 

I can't take it. 

I want a yard. And a kitchen with more than four cabinets. And a shorter commute. 

House hunting is lame. Especially considering it usually results in nothing for us except for another signature on a six month lease at the same place we are now.
