I live, write, and garden in the PNW with my husband of 28 years, disabled daughter, adult son, and my 84-year-old mother. We have paid off $250,000.00 worth of debt (if you include the interest) in the last fifteen years and as of 6/12/2020 are 100% DEBT FREE!!!!
I wonder if you've considered running a subtotal for 'old house' expenses [approx. $ 1,200.] ea. month to keep the focus on completing this project. With your preference for future planning - will these sums go for the next property? Is that favoured property still listed? Is it easier for buyers to get a mortgage? Are prices increasing each month? How are sales numbers in your region?
Snafu--I have a spreadsheet for them. Project should be completed by the end of April or early May. The property we were looking at before is pending, but we have found a couple of other small farms that are not in the river's flood plain. They are a little further from the town, but not too much.
