Back to the Future

10th May 2007 to be precise, the day I made my first venture into the world of Blog, and the topic?

Well I had just put Silver Crescent on the market and planned to use the social media platform to chart my progress to completion. Little did I know that almost 19 years to the day I would be publishing the same story.

Yes we are looking to down size and have started to look at possible homes to move into. We will not however put Weathers Towers on the market until we are confident we have somewhere we like to move into.

There are some scary parallels. The house next door is for sale as was the case in 2007, but they have a buyer, only trouble is they have sold for considerably less than we would expect to ask .  19 years ago  there was a financial crash which affected real estate prices in the same way as the Ukrainian and Middle |East conflicts are doing so now. Add the fact that every time Kier Starmer opens his mouth it somehow costs me money, and there could be a bumpy road ahead.

So lets see what sort of journey we embark on. Initial impressions indicate there is low stock available as people bide their time, and the houses which SWMBO does like tend to be in areas we would not wish to live. So we search the perfect (or 80%) property and then lets see who wants ours.

On that front, the pool has sprung a leek so we need to fix that first, it never rains but it pours!!
