Because my husband got transferred with his task this particular year, our family ended up having to do something that I really didn’t think we’d have to do! We had to buy a property, sight unseen, all the way across the country from our old property.
It definitely was the craziest thing we’ve ever done.
We did a little bit of research on properties in the area, of course, however the main thing the people I was with and I were interested in finding out about was the Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment in all of the prospective houses! See, the people I was with and I had just installed brand new, state of the art heating and cooling equipment in our old lake property and the people I was with and I wanted to keep the same great indoor air quality when the people I was with and I moved. We knew that a lot of places in the actual region where the people I was with and I were moving didn’t have new Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment because the neighborhoods were a great deal older. That essentially meant that the Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment was absolutely older, too. We genuinely wanted high efficiency air conditioning equipment and a high efficiency oil furnace, though. We didn’t genuinely want a heat pump or an oil furnace, since the people I was with and I had to deal with both of those things before replacing the Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment in our old property. We ended up having our realtor sort through the lake properties for us and filter out the houses without newer heating and cooling equipment. After that, finding a place that looked nice to us was a great deal easier, even though the people I was with and I were still looking for a place without seeing it in person! We ended up with a lake property with good Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment, though.
