My New Home-Home-Real Estate
我的新家-家里-房地产
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.
因为父亲的工作关系,我们家得搬到圣地亚哥去。父亲想要用租的,但是母亲坚持用买的。他们俩各有各的理由,于是就妥协为暂时买个新房子。不久,父亲发现货款利率一直在降低,而且不动产市场正值谷底,于是他改变了主意。
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.
现在他们都同意用买的,所以父亲必须为新家而谨慎地寻找。开始时比较困难,因为我们当时是住在华盛顿州的西雅图。但在听了一个朋友的建议之后,父亲找了个21世纪房地产经纪人。从那之后,事情进展得顺利多了。
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.
理想的地点找到了,经过出价协商,最后成交了。父亲选的是单层的房子,佔地8000平方英尺的土地,建筑面积是2500平方英尺。这房子有三个卧室,两个半的厕所,和一间可以停放两辆车的车库。

我们雇了一家搬家公司,他们用拖车把我们所有的物品都搬到新地址。这对我来说并没有太大的变化;我只需要在回家度假时改变飞机到达的目的地即可。
