Seriously, it's been a very very busy week. Got an offer on our house on Tuesday. Correction - got a good offer on our house Tuesday. So we accepted it! Set to close on April 29th, which happens to be our 5 year wedding anniversary. What a great anniversary present. Can't believe it's been almost 5 years.
So we started our serious house shopping. We looked at 7 houses on Wednesday and 5 on Thursday. Narrowed it down to 4 we really like and looked at those Friday (yesterday). Put in offers on two of them today.
House #1:
2 story, 3 car garage, great location. Biggest pro - extremely low taxes. Biggest problem - short sale held by Bank of America. Ugh.
House #2:
1 story, 3 car garage, detail work is great. Bigges pro - amazing storage space and around the corner from my parents. Biggest problem - very very very small backyard. And, we found out today when we went to sign the paperwork, it's also a short sale.
House #3:
2 story, new construction. Biggest pro - brand new! Biggest problem - still lots of houses to build around it, so there will be construction for the next few months? years?
House #4:
2 story, great backyard. Biggest pro - on a cul-de-sac. Biggest problem - 2. 1st, there's a contract on it that they're thinking will fall through, but we won't know until April 8th. 2nd, the master closet is extremely small. And I'm not a close horse, so you know for me to say that, it's really small. I don't think it will fit all of our clothes/shoes. Hence it being our last choice.
We gave the two short sales until the 6th to get back with us or the offer is withdrawn. It's definitely been tough, each house has its own amazing features but also a major drawback. So, who knows what will happen.
There's a field by Ellie's daycare that has blue bonnets in it. We went this morning and took pictures. I'll post some later. After that was my company picnic which was a blast! Signed the paperwork after that. It's been an exhausting day.
Zoo tomorrow! Ellie's first time, I can't wait!
