When my husband and I got married, we got our first house. We knew this house was not going to be our “forever” home, but it was what we could afford at the time. Then we started a family. With a baby came TONS of stuff. Our son wasn’t even 4 months old and we were being pushed out of our house. So we bought our current house…our “real” house. One day we may use Marketplace Homes to build our dream home.
Despite being in our “real” house, I know that there is a “really REAL” house out there for me. This “really REAL” house is a cross between The Brady Bunch meets Beverly Hills 90210. What do I mean by that? Well I want each of my bedrooms to have their own private bathroom (a.k.a. Beverly Hills 90210) and I want my downstairs to be open and spacious with lots of room for couches and comfortable chairs (a.k.a. The Brady Bunch). Another must in my house would be the kitchen. It must be a replica of The Brady Bunch –large island, ovens in a stone wall, and my very own Alice to take care of things for me!
But can I have those things? Will I be able to sell my house to have the house of my dreams built?
If you asked me a couple weeks ago I would have said “no way in hell”. Like most places, the value of my house completely dropped. But thanks to my snazzy new job, I am learning that my dream can definitely become a reality. Marketplace Homes helps people by guaranteeing homeowners that they can lease their current home while they build a new home using one of Marketplace Homes’ partner builders!

I so dream of being able to build my dream home one day. I would have a BIG kitchen and definitely more than one bathroom!
Leah says
I hear ya! I am hoping once my husband gets a job, I can take advantage of the great program that Marketplace Homes has available!!
Jenn says
This would be a dream come true. The only way to get you really, real house is to build it yourself because there’s always things about a ready-made home you would have done differently.
Leah says
I totally agree. I think very few people walk into a “ready made home” and say “this is PERFECT…exactly what I wanted”!
I have a binder that has pictures of what I want in a house!!
Bobbie says
Oh man! I’d love to leave the midwest (WI for me) and go someplace where winter is 50* or warmer!
Lindsay says
Sounds like an interesting way to get the home of your dreams. With so many people having trouble selling their home, this seems pretty perfect.
Leah says
It is so good! I can’t wait until Dan gets a job and we can use Marketplace Homes to lease our house and build a new house! I’m literally drooling over the thought!!!
