House Huntin'

Two weeks ago we started looking at houses. We had planned on starting to look a little more on into the summer, but the market is starting to come back, so we started to look. We found a house that we loved the very first weekend we went out. It is on a golf course and it fit our personality. The problem, we soon found, was that it was way overpriced for the neighborhood. It was within our budget, but we are not just emotional lookers, we want a good investment too. We had our agent talk with their's about the price and it just didn't seem they were willing to be realistic with the price. We were pretty upset as we loved the home.

So, yesterday we went and looked at another batch of homes. We had looked at five properties and not liked any of them as much as we liked the golf course home. We decide to quickly see if we could stop by it again since we were in the neighborhood. The homeowners agreed, so we went to look at it and fell in love with it all over again. We strongly considered making an offer, but we had one more home to look at, so off we went.

We had to head to lunch, because we had about an hour until we had to be at the last house. The last house was one that both Ryan and I had on our list, but Ryan liked it a lot more than me. I was concerned that it wasn't really our taste and would need a lot of changes that wouldn't fit in our budget due to the home price. He convinced me to go look at it anyway. Boy am I glad he did.  We fell completely in love with the home and made an offer last last night. Now, we just sit here, waiting to see if the offer is accepted or what the counter will be.  No jinxing it, but I have high hopes that the negotiations will go well.

While we were out looking, we came across an intersection I just had to take a picture at as you will see below.  Crazy!
