House Update

One thing led to another, and well, we got out of the new house. We have made three offers of which two fell through. The housing market here is fierce, and it moves fast. You think you have time, but you really don't. You see it, you want it, you make an offer. No dill-dallying around here.

We learned this the hard way. And after seeing at least 100 houses now, we got really confused by what it is that we wanted. Is it really the big yard that we want? Do we really want 3 bedrooms? Or do we prefer 4 bedrooms? Do we want a formal dining area? And two sitting areas? Can we update it ourselves, or do we want it to be already updated? Are we getting a good deal?

All these questions have been flying around in my head.

The first house that we made an offer on would have been perfect. It's in a cul de sac, and has 3 bedrooms and backs up to a rock quarry. It has a cute backyard that has a lot of potential.

The second house had a humongous backyards where we could plant trees, play volleyball, barbecue, it was going to be perfection.

They had their high points, and their low points.

Isn't this house stuff supposed to be fun? It's given me a lot more anxiety then fun.

Our last offer is in, and the seller has accepted. We scheduled an inspection, and pray that all is well. This house has so much that we want, and has the bones for what we want it to be. I'm already imagining white cabinets, open shelves, and persimmon trees out back.
