My husband and I had a good talk about our residence.
The recent sudden rent increase was very shocking to us. Now that they increased it, it means they can increase the rent any time as they want. It is just scary. The rent increase has made us seriously think about our residence.
My husband and daughter really like this current house. They want to buy this house if the owner offers a reasonable price. I like this house too. I agree with my family. If the price is reasonable, I don’t mind to buy it.
To be honest, my mind goes back and forth. Every time I was thinking about buying this house, my eyes caught some drawbacks. This house has lots of aspects that makes its value low. The owner made a whole bunch of nail holes in a clumsy way. There were no remodeling or upgrades in this house, except for the new gas stove. I really hope the owner considers all the aspects to reflect their sale price, if we buy it.
However, there is something in my mind. Deep inside.
During the conversation with my husband, I found out my husband feels the same way as I do. He wants to buy a house and settle down, but deep inside, there is something making us rethink about buying a house on this area.
My husband’s current employer is a huge organization. It has its branches not only throughout America but also internationally. There is some possibility to work in Japan, so he submitted the request to work in Japan. Recently he has been working on two more certificates related to his current job. Once he gets all the certificates, it will make him look good at the company. The opportunity for moving to a new job position will be open for him.
In case the company offers some new opportunity in other area or even in Japan, if we are still renting, we will be able to easily move out. He wants to keep ourselves as flexible and obligation-free. That is why he feels safe in renting a house at this moment.
I agree with him. I like being flexible.
If our right land calls us next year, I want to move smoothly.
My husband and I agreed to keep having our hope. We will trust our family spirits to guide us naturally to our right decision. It might either buying the current house with the reasonable price, buying a new house in our current area, or as a new option, moving to a new area through my husband’s job.
