   Oh no.

   I am out looking at apartments for sale (as I've been doing most Saturdays recently).

   But I'm feeling a strong urge to go home so I can read skz fic & watch skz videos.

   Self: they will still be there after you've finished today's inspections. There *are* other things in life. Calm down, etc.

     Saw, hmm, 4 apartments this morning I think. Seriously considering making an offer on one of them.

     There's at least one more I'd like to look at today, but fuck I'm tired and I'm not sure I'll be able to get off the couch in time to go out to see it.

     One of the places I saw today seemed too cheap. Whyyyyy. https://www.domain.com.au/1002-263-franklin-st-melbourne-vic-3000-2019038420

     It was very small, so maybe that's why. I don't need much space, so that doesn't bother me.

     I just can't decide if there's some hidden deal-breaker.

     Gah, re-reading that listing, it is full of hot chip and lies. Hardly any storage space, no pantry, tiny built-in wardrobe.

     But those bedroom windows are just as good as they seem, and the balcony off the living area is good too.

     I'm also seriously considering this one. https://www.domain.com.au/1207-555-flinders-street-melbourne-vic-3000-2018967708

     Since it doesn't look like I'll be able to buy the place I'm in at a price I'm willing to pay, I've decided that I have to have a balcony. (I don't have one now.)

     The balcony on that second place is a great size, like an extra room's worth of size, and it's north-facing so it will be good for growing plants.

     I think I'll probably make an offer on the big-balcony place first, and see how that goes.

     @lookitmychicken Having a north-facing balcony would be awesome. Good luck!!

     @mjm I don't think so, and noise doesn't bother me anyway. It won't be as noisy as the place I currently am in.

     @lookitmychicken does the markets being across the road mean it’s going to be super noisy? Only obvious stand-out thing from the listing.
