As you may, or may not know, we are hoping to build a house. The sooner the better to be perfectly honest. In order to do this, however, there are certain things that need to happen and certain things that we need to have. One of the more important of those being land.

I recently spoke to some people with considerable knowledge on the subject and found out that there is going to be some land being put up for sale at a very reasonable price. Some of it will be right where we want to build, and some other plots will be a couple of towns over. Being some towns over from where we are hoping to build is not a deal breaker. When building a house, it is best to plan that your plans will go up in smoke, after all.

This will all be happening pretty quickly. Well, quickly in terms of house building. It will still be a couple of years before the land is put up for sale.

Also of note, since the land is being sold by the government they are using a point system to decide who gets it. You get “points” based on how long you have lived in the area, how much money you make, how many kids you have, and some other factors. We fair pretty well on everything, except for the time in the area. On that one we are right on the border between acceptable and please try again next time. Just have to wait and see!
