I'm getting my house ready RIGHT NOW. I have a nice neighborhood and love my house, but a sex offender moved in RIGHT next door and has bought the house, so he's here to stay.
Interestingly, we were looking all around our area, and my house is nicer IMO than many higher priced ones too, which really bums me out. Now we're looking at houses on acreage--- I think it'd be cool, but I never pictured myself as a country girl (Priscilla- I'll be closer to you!) Sorry to hear about your car, but if your gut thinks it's time to move, believe it.
