After Karen's tremendous success in selling our Colorado house, we are finding the buying situation in Arkansas to be a lot more challenging. We're being pretty persnickety about what we want, what we want to pay, and where we want the house/property to be located in relation to the Passion Play. We have also faced situations where the product is not "as advertised" and we have not been even close to seeing something we would be comfortable living in.
Karen has become an accomplished internet searcher and there is an abundance of properties for sale in the vicinity, but we are experiencing multiple examples of very creative descriptions, properties not at the location they are supposed to be and many access roads which will require combat vehicles in order to gain access or else combat arms to feel secure living there. I'm not "profiling", but this is, after all, rural Arkansas, and we ain't "from around these parts".
Since we do feel comfortable in our house on wheels, and are navigating the winter weather pretty well for goin' on our seventh year, we don't feel any pressure to do something quickly. We will continue to search, look at the ones which seem promising, and in God's time we will find "our dream home in this gem of a city in the gorgeous Ozark mountains" (to quote one of the real estate agents we chose not to sign on with). When we find it.......we'll know it.
