Just had a telling off from my husband and my mother because I was complaining about how awful I find house hunting.
We’re in the early stages of trying to find a new house and sell our own. Lucky enough that we don’t have money worries and we’re being gifted a chunk of money from a trust so we have a good budget for what we want, and our house is likely to sell quickly due to area. We also don’t have any time pressures on moving like a new job or pregnancy. On paper I understand we’re in a very fortunate position and I feel extremely lucky.
BUT that doesn’t change the fact I HATE house hunting. I hate scouring Rightmove, I hate that every night after work this week my husband has sat down and wanted to look at about 20 shit house listings for houses I would not want to buy and I think it’s a waste of time even considering. I hate wasting a Saturday traipsing round someone else’s home imaging what my stuff would look like in there. I hate waking up to my mum sending me links to properties I’ve already seen or that you wouldn’t catch me dead in. The whole thing is such a massive ordeal to me and not a tiny bit exciting, but according to DH and now my DM I’m the only person in the world who feels like this and everyone else loves house hunting and Rightmove hunting. I honestly cannot believe this is true. So - tell me, am I unreasonable for finding this as fun as pulling teeth?
