While the new home is great we often have pangs to be in a non-neighborhood. Our neighborhood has deed restrictions and while they are good in theory they have restricted us from some of the things we'd like to do, kids riding their motorbikes, what if we wanted chickens???<br /><br />The biggest draw for us to living on land that gave us some distance from our neighbors was...our nieghbors. They are all nice people but we have found that most parents today aren't all on the same parenting page. The neighborhood influence on our children ended up requiring us to restrict them from much play with the neighbors who exposed them to the innocence robbing ideas we try to filter from our lives but is so much a part of children's life earlier and earlier these days....sigh....<br /><br />Knowing what I know now, I'd go with the land and put in a lower offer. It's a buyer's market and it can't hurt to offer lower.<br /><br />God bless you in your discernment process.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423794317423373245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9038207951426384277.post-62706055031983657322009-05-04T19:41:00.001-07:002009-05-04T19:41:00.001-07:00I say go with the cheaper in your budget house.

NEW is hard to turn down, but as shoddy as the new stuff has been, I'd be looking harder at the farm. The privacy would be divine! <br /><br />Good luck and God bless as you figure it out.Sarah - Kalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877449375576975508noreply@blogger.com
