Well, we've taken another step toward the south...
We now have a contract on a house here in Florida.
Jeanie and I had planned all along to live in temporary housing while our house was built. We had just expected that it would be an apartment. Once we started looking at the price of rentals however, we realized that it made more sense economically to buy a small house and either sell it after a year or maybe even keep it as rental property.
We ended up buying a nice house a little smaller (~500 sq ft) than the house we just sold, off-island. In fact, it is in the neighborhood directly across the street from our lot. We can actually walk from our new house to our new lot! This should work out well. We will have a nice home in which to live, and we'll get to make sure we like the area we selected before we build our dream house that we would need to stay in for a number of years before it would be financially viable to move if we didn't like the area.
Assuming everything works out, we will be moving in about five weeks from today.
