Small Apartment Living

The real estate market where I live is 100% flat lined since November.  We had a feeling it would and figured it would pick up a little bit in January which to date, we haven’t seen.  Our realtor is telling us that we will be lucky to see any decent listings before March. 

We moved into this apartment in September thinking we would find something but after 2 months of searching in the fall, the market settled and we haven’t been able to get out of this tiny apartment.  We made the best of it over the holidays by buying a small apartment tree and some new decorations and we really did have a good Christmas.

Now that we are two weeks into the New Year, we are itching to get out of here and get a new place.  We check the listings at least once a day, but most days, we check them twice just hoping something new will come on the market.  To date… no dice.  Not one single 3 bedroom home has come on the market. 

On the plus side, I cleaned the entire place in under an hour today; vacuum, sweep, mop, bathrooms, dusting, all of it.  I even did a bunch of dishes and got some laundry in.  Maybe small apartment living isn’t so bad.
