Ok, so now that I'm finally going to be done with school and getting my career off the ground, the reality of being a home-owner is inevitably in the near future. I've always been interested in real estate and in seeing what's out there, so lately I have been extra curious. I want to see what's out there, and with the housing market as shitty as it is, how much house I'll be able to afford. Right now, the area I'm most interested in is Ferguson. My (former?) church is in Ferguson, and I really like the area. I've subbed for the Ferguson-Florissant school district, and I loved it. I'll probably apply to teach at McCluer South-Berkeley High School eventually, and I have faith enough in the district that I would have no problem entrusting them in providing Alex his education. Downtown Ferguson has a real old-time feel; it reminds me of "Old Webster"- a part of Webster Groves that is striving to become more trendy. Granted, Ferguson is a little bit slower paced, but I really like it there. It has beautiful parks, little traffic, and nice homes for reasonable prices. Let's just put it this way. This house (follow the link) would easily cost 220,000 in Webster. And that's being very conservative. The asking price for this house is $169,900- at the very top of my budget (when I'm working full-time, that is). But, then again, that's just the starting off point. Everything is negotiable. Seriously though. Follow the link and take the virtual tour of this house. It is EXACTLY what I'm looking for!!!! Awesome backyard, fenced in (for Ted), nice patio. Six-panel doors, crown molding, fireplace, granite countertops, hardwood floors, landscaping, garage, foyer. Space for a basketball hoop for Alex. Everything down to the dining room chandelier is precisely what I'm looking for! Anyone want to loan me some money??? :)
