Reluctant to move out of nice apartment

My boyfriend, Andy and I lived together in an apartment for four years before we got engaged.

We hoped to buy our own home as soon as we got married.

We quickly discovered that finding a home, within our price range, that meets all of our demands is nearly impossible. Andy and I have now been married for four years and we are still living in the same apartment. We recently signed another year’s lease. We continue to spend our weekends checking real estate listings and touring various houses for sale. We’ve had absolutely no luck. I think one of the biggest problems is that we are so happy with our apartment. The apartment is spacious, modern and equipped with all sorts of modern amenities. I have a stainless steel convection stove and matching refrigerator and dishwasher. There is a separate laundry room with a brand new stackable washer and dryer. The entire apartment is equipped with radiant floor heating and zone control. The heating equipment is completely hidden, totally silent and wonderfully energy efficient. There is no way we could afford to install radiant heating, smart thermostats and an air purification system after buying a house. At our apartment, we have covered parking, a good sized backyard and we’re located within walking distance of all sorts of bars and restaurants. Plus, our landlord is really wonderful. If I call with any type of problem, he immediately focuses on providing a solution. Andy and I have offered to buy the building several times. We’d much rather just stay where we are.
