We explored a lot of options in regards to buying a plot in Marquette to build on. Turns out the plot we were interested in is controversial as people want it to remain wooded. We don't want to build in a place where people don't want new houses.
We also got a feel for the budget needed to build new, and the impression that attitudes and techniques of constructing new houses seem decades behind Europe. Not really sure it makes sense to build something that we aren't really happy with, and we don't have the budget to do it the way we would want.
Looks like the search has been put on hold for now. We will keep an eye on the market, but probably won't get serious about buying something until next year around this time. This process has opened us up to options we hadn't considered before, so that is a good thing. There is plenty of time left!
