Location, location, location

With the fairly new legalization
Of recreational marijuana 
Usage in colorado...
Colorado has turned into quite the place for
Out-of-staters to buy homes.
The housing market in colorado has been insane, and 
With inventory on the low side, prices are 
Higher than they were at the housing peak
In 2005 before the housing crisis 
And before the recession began.

That priced us out of any decent homes
In the immediate denver metro area.
We started to wonder if selling our home was a good idea.
Sure we made money,
But now we were no longer able to buy in the denver burbs.

Shaun interviewed with a key bank back in fall of 2013,
And he ended up declining the position because it was
Not the right timing.

They got back in contact with him a few weeks ago
And offered him a position in Fort Collins.
We decided he should take it for many reasons....
*great schools
*cheaper housing
*travel time to and from work would be less than an hour each way!
(15 mins to be more like it)
*there will be a Mormon temple there in 2016
*family community

So we have been house hunting for the past few weeks...
But have not found "the one"

The search continues....
But at least we now know where we are going!
