Just to see how we'd fare. After the disastrous 2020 year in travel, we weren't expecting much. We've been devastated thinking our dream of buying a home in Raleigh would not be a reality. And then our broker told us it was. We were stunned, elated, and nervous all at once. Dreams become like fragile glass when they are within reach. You're frightened that a single breath exhaled too sharply will shatter it. So we're tip toeing through the rubble right now to keep it in tact. It is the absolute possible worse time to buy. But, we know in Raleigh it won't get better. The growth is just too big and unstoppable. It will be tough to get our dream home in our dream location. I'm putting my faith in a miracle and just showing up each day to do what I can control. Owning our own home in Raleigh has been a dream we've fought for since 2004. We will keep you updated with how this crazy house buying project in Raleigh progresses for us.
