What to do?

Well, I'm in a dilemma. I don't know what to do. We've recently been approached twice about selling our house. Once by a woman from the next town over who called and told Jason that she had heard that we were selling and wanted to talk to us before we listed to possibly save on the real estate fees, and then again the other day by a Real Estate agent.

The agent asked Jason if we were selling because he had a buyer from the next town over who wanted to buy a house in our area and had heard we were selling...Jason couldn't remember the name of the woman who called him originally, but we're pretty sure that they are the same ones that the agent represents.

Jason told him basically the same thing he told the woman who called. We just had the baby, and so never really thought about selling anytime soon. Too much of a hastle with a newborn... Plus we don't really have anywhere to GO. There's never anywhere to rent in our town, and there is only one house we can think of offhand that we might really be interested in, and it's more than we'd expect someone to offer for this house, so unless we got more than we expect for our house, or managed to get the owners of the other house to drop their price quite substantially we wouldn't be able to afford it and wouldn't have a home! Not a good plan with a 2 1/2 year old and a 2 month old in the picture.

I mentioned the option of buying a cheaper/older mini home and putting it by Jason's father's house and staying there for 5 years or so to save enough money to build our "dream home". But I don't know if I could go from a 2200 sq ft two story house to a small mini home with NO storage space whatsoever...

Anyhow, even though we don't know where we'd go if we DID sell the place, or even if we WANT to, we've decided to let them at least see the house and see if there's any interest on their part before we have to make those decisions...

But I just don't know what to do... this house is pretty close to being my dream house (or it will be when it's finally finished) but Jason hates it and only bought it because I fell in love with it... I don't really want to move, but it doesn't seem fair to make him stay in a house he hates just because I love it... In a perfect world we'd both love the house we were in equally...

I just don't know what to do... and this is my dilemma...

lol, not likely... I think between Donna, Johnny and Mom we'd be strung up several times for taking the kids so far away from the grandparents...
