House Hunting!

Finally! We are house hunting, like for REAL! No more "oh cool, an open house. Let's go in" business! We went out Friday and Saturday with our realtor, and some more tonight! It's been a learning experience too. At first Doug and I thought we wanted a newer home, but then we saw that a newer home = no yard and we weren't ok with that. Then we decided we wanted a home we could fix up- it would prob be cheaper to buy and better for resale to have something we improved. So we looked at a few homes in need of some "TLC" Friday night and apparently that means: walls, electrical, new plumbing, and windows. lol, I DON'T THINK SO! So we are back at the drawing board and hit a nice compromise with our realtor- some improvements (new paint, carpet, counters, fixtures, landscaping) OK, anything else, not so OK and we've got a big list of options now to start narrowing down! EXCITING!

We are going to talk to the Mortgage broker tomorrow to go over financing and mortgage options and hopefully get pre-qualified so we know what we have to work with, and when the right home comes along we can strike! It's a lot to think about, but we are so excited to find a place to really call OUR OWN!! Yah!
