Well, after looking all summer for the "right" lot to build our new home on, we bought one on Tuesday. Paid asking price for it, but it was "reasonably" priced. About a third of an acre walkout lot that backs to woods and a creek (the creek is about 30 feet lower than the house will be - no fear of flooding).
We meet with our builder on Wednesday to start fine tuning a house plan we found online. Should end up looking something like this, but will need to add 2 - 4 more garage stalls for the toys (only has a 2 stall as shown).
We'll be moving east on I90, just across the Mississippi River to the greater La Crosse, WI area.
Lower taxes, no tax on SS, no tax on Mrs. Champ's UW pension, much lower sales tax, much less expensive license tabs but the real estate taxes will be somewhat higher.
Question - how do you stuff 3600 sq ft of stuff into an 1800 sq ft townhouse with only a 2 stall garage? Good thing it's temporary....
