I'm looking at houses right now, and this is of course the smallest inventory of the year. No one wants to sell their house over the holidays. The listings are generally the dregs left over from summer. I've assembled a list of "toos."
Too big.
Too small.
Too old.
Too many wheat fields to maintain.
Too far from anything.
Too close to my friend Lynn. If she can walk over, she will and often.
A 2009 house with no HVAC and no ducting has got to be kidding, too.
Neighbors too trashy.
Too easementy.
Too homeowners' associationy.
And my personal favorite: too close to the outdoor shooting range.
Househunting is gonna be a long slog.
