is WAY better than house selling.
although, until march 1, when we actually close, i will have a pit in my stomach every day from worrying that all this house shopping is for nothing and that the buyers don't really want our house.
we have already had our hearts broken over a house we couldn't have. we were all set on reserving a lot and building, but then our credit score was a teesny bit under what we needed for a conventional loan, and the payments with an FHA loan were too high, so peace out beautiful brand new house i had already gotten attached too. so house shopping is still scary.
we made our first official offer on this guy:
i know, she's a beaut. and is apparently both male and female. i probably shouldn't be posting pictures of other people's homes online... so the problem here is that this house is a short sale, and thus, a bit of a long shot. but you can't help who you fall in love with RIIIIIIEEEEEEGHT? sigh. this house is the kind of house i could picture the pitter patter of little feet peeking around the stairs to see the tree on christmas morning, sitting in a swing on the front porch with my guitar in the evenings, backyard barbeques with family, and you get the picture.
you know, what's terrible about house buying, is that you have to be attached enough to the house that you would pay hundreds of thousands of dollars and want to live in it for 30+ years, but still not get too attached in case it doesn't work out. WTH am i supposed to do that!?!?!
plus, how weird is it to walk through and touch all those stranger's stuffs? these guys have an EXCELLENT collection of hard liquor on their counter. i feel like that lends laid back vibes to the house.well either that or alcoholic vibes.
anyway. i'm sure i'll let you know how it all goes. we're still hunting, so if you find anything good in daybreak, let me know.
peace.
I love that it's blue. Now that I've lived in the East that's something I really dislike about housing in the west. They all look the same... shades of brown. Here people aren't afraid to add a little bit of color, it's nice. Looks like a cool house, I bet it's cool inside too.
ReplyDeleteCollette! I love this house!
ReplyDeleteI had a serious love/hate relationship with house shopping.. for the same reasons.. you get attached, but you can't, because, what if it doesn't work out.. so hard. UGH!
I'm so happy you are looking in day break! I live just South of it.. like across 11800 S! We could be in-person friends as well as blog friends! :)
Good luck! keep us posted! :)
