In March, we had our whole year basically planned out. We had tickets to attend the End of the Road Tour of KISS. We also had tickets for an intimate evening with Graham Nash. Then we would be moseying our way to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby. In the late fall we were booked on an exclusive cruise to Antarctica. Instead of doing any of that, we slunk our way back to Las Vegas and bought a house in the hopes of outlasting the pandemic.
We decided if we were going to be hunkered down for a year we might as well get ourselves somewhere comfortable. Since renting a house in Sun City Anthem, we have been comfortable in the neighborhood and the nearby services. So, we focused primarily on finding a house that would have a nice view of the valley. We think we got that part done pretty well. Our evening campfires with a glass of chardonnay should be just about right.
By focusing our search here, we really only had a pick of 15 to 20-year-old homes. But we found one that had been reasonably updated so that it didn’t feel as old as it was. We did look at some new developments that had some view of the valley, but none of them could hold a candle to the view from our new digs. And, we ended up with a value – our neighbor told us he was pissed at what we bought it for because he said it greatly undervalued his home, which essentially had the same view. Bummer!
We hope to be talking to you soon.
