Oh dear…

Category: from our sponsors

Thinking of buying a place? Look no further than Golden Valley, Arizona!

So my “sponsor” (as they prefer to be known) has sent me another link to talk about, for some realtor in Arizona. Kinda hard to talk about a dreadfully designed website, selling just a few products, but here I go.

Kingman Town & Country Realtor, in Mohave County, Arizona, seems to sell properties “of all sizes”, but the only property they have listed on their own domain is something that looks like something out of a roadside scene in From Dusk Till Dawn – check out the photo:

This realtor has possibly the worst website I’ve seen for a professional firm. Ever. Even the property management firm I worked for in Edinburgh had a better website, and their technical development was in about the Jurassic Age. This strikes me as a pity, cause you’d think that it’d actually be kinda fun to look – ranch properties in Arizona…

Oop, OK, so I found some more listings, just on another domain. Gawd, sometimes I wish that I was living in Arizona, just for house prices – there’s a 3 bedroom house there for around £25,000. You can’t even buy a GARAGE in Edinburgh for that amount!

I’ve been hankering after buying my own place for a while now. I feel like I’m at an age where it should be done, but my salary is certainly not at a point where it COULD be done, at least not in this town. Edinburgh property prices are through the roof, and it doesn’t help that the banks are willing to loan more and more, which pushes the prices higher and higher. Sometimes I think I’d move back to Melbourne just for a nice house all of my very own.

I so want a cat, and a garden. My very own small garden which I can make my own, and a cat to hide amongst the foliage. My bedroom has to do for now (practically every surface not at ground level is covered in potplants), though my flatmate won’t stand for a cat. This realtor and his cheap-by-Edinburgh-standards properties is making me want to move to Arizona…

*sigh*

    Hi Charlotte, how’s it going? I’d like to move to Arizona someday myself. Especially if property’s that cheap!!!
