Househunting

It looks like Andi and I will be able to stay here for a few more years, so we are starting a househunt. Unfortunately, we differ as to what we want in a house. I have always dreamt of a charming little old home that I could slowly work to renovate over a series of years. Andi leans more toward the new homes with new appliances and flooring and windows so that once you move in, you don't have to do anything to it. Where is the adventure in that?

But beyond these differences is also the fact that any cute little charming homes have been purchased, torn down, and on that land builders have put bright orange rows of cube homes that are so popular in Europe these days. Austrians also seem to never sell their apartments, but instead just leave them to their children or rent them out, so there are not very many apartments to choose from either. So it seems that we will either have to pay a half a million euro to get anything close to what I want in a home, or live under a bridge.
