It sounds like the trucks are temporary from your posts. You like the house you are in. You don't have to do any remodeling (which is a nightmare that I wouldn't put on anyone unless they LOVED this kind of thing) and your business is there. Hang in there a while longer and see if more options show up.

Remodeling/fixer upper will cost you more than you think and eat at your time and sanity. It's messy and having workers tromp through your house every day eats into your privacy. I had to replace the water/sewer lines digging up my entire front lawn twice. I had to replace pipes inside my house requiring the workers to cut up part of my basement concrete. That left dust for months. I needed a new driveway that took a month to get done. We've done other work over the years that the house has needed and even the surprises you get a long the way like replacing the 1980's water heater, heater and air conditioner.

No one has brought this up. If you remodel the house, it's value goes up adding higher property taxes and other taxes. If the house ends up being worth more than the other properties around it, it will be hard to sell.

If you don't need to move, stay where you are and keep looking. You'll know when the right house calls to you, just like your bike did when you bought it.

This wasn't my first choice for a house but it was we could afford and needed the least amount of work. I knew it was mine when I opened the doors. Any work we've done has been upkeep related over the past 10 years as it was built in the 1960's.
