Wanna buy a house?
No, really. Wanna buy it?
We have this house. This big, beautiful can't-convince-anyone-to-buy-it house. In Texas.
Have I mentioned we live in Maryland? And that in two weeks we'll have been here for a year?
We've had a lot of showings, and one lowball offer. In the beginning, no one said much about the paint colors. (I should note that I hate white. Beige is the new white. I didn't have any purple rooms, but I didn't shy away from color either. And I'll give them the kitchen. We painted right before we found out we were moving, and even I kinda wanted to repaint it when it was done.) Lately, everyone likes to rag on the colors. They can't see what a nice house it is because of the colors. Ask for a painting allowance, for god's sake! I'm willing to paint the damn house back to beige for you! I'm not bitter. No, I'm not.
We're at the point where we don't know what to do. It seems unlikely that we'll be able to sell the house for anything less than a huge loss. Like, tens of thousands huge.
And this is just one of the big issues in the debate: Maryland or Texas?
