I am happy to not be alone (and happy to not have any extra "second time" stess). While I do agree that there are some anxieties of blogging, they anxieties I am happy to endure. Thanks Vivien.

And also to give you heads up: you know what's more stressful than being a first-time home-buyer? the next-time buyer. That's what we've been going through last fall. It's catch22 - do we sell our place first and look for a new house (by adding a condition to buy a new place in the contract with our buyers), or do we find a place we like, put an offer with the condition that we first sell our place? The problem is that nobody wants and likes to sign a deal with buyers/sellers with conditions. What happened in our case was that after a long search we finally found a place we liked, put an offer, with a condition that we'll sell our place in one month. They promised to extend the date, if we don't sell in a month. It was a crazy month, open houses almost every other day.... but we didn't get a buyer, and they didn't extend the date and broke the deal. Four days later we had a buyer for our place, but no place to go... now the condition was that we have to find a place in a month. We did manage to find a place after four weeks of searching, and moved to a new place before Christmas. Crazy, eh? I agree, blogging is not that stressful, although it does come with its own anxieties. Good luck with your house hunting! Rhett, just wanted to tell you that I can absolutely relate to what you’re going through as a house hunter.
