Because of father's work. our family had to move to San Diego. Father wanted to lease but mother insisted on buying. Both of them had good points. so the compromise was a short-term lease as tamporary settlement and buying a new home at a better location late. Soon, father found out that loan interest rates had been dropping and the real estate market was at an all time low. He changed his mind.

Now they had agreed on buying, father must search carefully for the new home. It was difficult at first, bacause we lived way up in Seanle Washington. Following a friend's suggestion father contacted a real estate broker at Century 21. Things went much smoothly after that.

The ideal location was found, negotiated, and bought. Father chose a single story, twenty-five hundred square feet house on an eight thousand square feet lot. It has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a garage with room for two cars.

We hired a moving company to ship our belongings to the new address with a trailer truck. It was not a major change for me, I just had to change my destination when flying home on vacations.
