Shopping for a Home is Exhausting (and Personal Finance Links)

February 12, 2011 by Lazy Man Leave a Comment

I mentioned earlier this week that we are looking to buy a second home. Our agent said that it was going to be a marathon and he wasn’t joking. We spent 16 hours a day looking at houses. When we weren’t driving in a car, we were searching websites. If we had time to catch a bite (usually the first chance at lunch came it at around 3PM), we’d talk about what we’ve seen and what our thoughts are on the homes.

We found a place that we liked enough to put an offer on. We’ve negotiated three rounds and have our final bid out there now. We’ll see how it goes. This week expect a heavy focus on articles about the roller coaster of house hunting. While I sleep for the next 3 days, catch up these personal finance links:
