We might move in August
The director at DH's school owns a house that is currently being rented by the school's librarian, who is moving out in May. She doesn't want to rent to someone she doesn't know, so she made DH a very, very attractive offer. We'd get a single family house, 1700 sf, large yard, deck, 1.5 or 2.5 bathrooms (I don't remember), three bedrooms, large eat-in kitchen that was just remodeled, dining room & living room plus a family room, a two-car garage, dishwasher(!!!!), washer and dryer that doesn't involve me going outside and downstairs to the basement. For about an extra $125/month than we pay now. For twice the space. It'd be slightly closer for us for work too. Another extra? 5 minutes from my favorite sushi place 
We've been there before, but we're going to go take a look again soon. As much as I hate moving, it's very tempting for twice the space. My mom thinks the garage is worth the extra rent alone. I've never parked in a garage before so I don't know what I'm missing. You know I'm already decorating it in my head.
Re: We might move in August
Parking in a garage during winter and not having to scrape your car or spend as much time waiting for it to heat up is a thing of beauty. Just sayin'.
Yay for an eat-in kitchen!
Although would the extra $125/month cut into your saving for buying a house too much? For me it would be hard to choose between staying put and being able to buy sooner and moving and prolonging being a homeowner. But I also just really hate moving.
I just a friendly gal looking for options.
a garage, where is snows from nov - march, is TOTALLY worth it.
just think, no more clearing snow off your car at 6 am. no more scraping ice off your windshield.
makes me all quiverrful just thinking about it.
This.
And between this, the dishwasher and the washer/dryer in the house - - your life will change drastically and it will be totally worth it.
If they include utilities, that's a pretty good deal. Heating up a house in the winter is much more expensive than a plain ol' apartment!
only if they include utilities.
Good luck!
