Movin’ on up
Six and a half years ago, Stephanie and I got married and bought a townhouse. I can’t believe it’s been that long, but since then we’ve settled in and among other things, brought Lily into the world. The idea had been creeping around for a while, but when the baby arrived it was obvious: we could really use a bigger place.
So the other day, we contacted our Realtor to get the ball rolling. Our goal is to be out by the summer, so we need to get our finances in order, sell our townhome, and find a new home. To date, luck has been on our side: other places in our neighborhood are selling very well, which is a Good Thing™ with regards to securing a loan and making a down payment on a new place. We’re staying close, so far looking at places on realtor.com just west along route 7100 around West Springfield and Burke; fortunately prices aren’t too bad. Sidewalks would be nice for Lily, and a garage would be great (I’m done with leaving my car in a parking lot). Other than that, we’re not too picky – we’re just not in the mood for any big remodeling projects in a “new” place.
That’s the plan. We’ll see how things work out, and will continue to report our progress here on TeamAHearn.com!

Lesley:
Fun! Wait, we’re the same age right? How am I so far behind? We’re buying our first townhouse at the end of the month, and I’ll be parking outside for at least the next five years. And we already have a TON of little remodeling projects planned…
Hope your search goes well, and yours sells quickly and easily too!!
