I'm getting that itch. You know the one... the one that finds you surfing Realtor.ca late at night. The one that makes your head spin when you spot a For Sale sign in your dream neighbourhood. We've been in this house for six years and it feels like we've only just recently "finished" our home. So why even entertain the thought of moving?
Maybe its because we don't have a big renovation project on the horizon? Well, actually, we have the whole exterior to deal with. We haven't really done much except change the front door and add some basic seating and lighting to the back deck. And I'm not a big gardener so our backyard doesn't really interest me.

Maybe these things happen gradually and my feelings about leaving or staying in my house will ebb and flow like the daily tide. In the meantime, I'm sure I'll keep browsing the real estate sites for that centre-plan Georgian (or is it farmhouse with wraparound porch? I can't decide) at the perfect price point and keep filling my Pinterest boards with ideas for the next dream home.
