House Hunters

Today we officially became house hunters, as we went to look at our first house. We had a really good feeling about this first one we were going to see, and still really like the place but decided not to make an offer on it. It was originally listed by the owners who were trying to sell it before foreclosure.. which unfortunately didn't work out for them. We found out this morning that there were already 2 offers on the place before we went to see it. We really liked the size and everything.. but it would need a lot of work.. new paint, and lights and carpet etc. That all wasn't so bad, but there is an un-permitted addition, and they did some weird things running electrical all over the back yard. We just decided that with all the work that would have to be done, it wasn't worth what they were asking for it. And so the search continues! We are going to look at another place tomorrow afternoon. We're sure we'll find the right place for us eventually. We're not in any rush and can take our time looking, but we'd really like to get into our own place, and I think now that we've started looking I'm going to be anxious until we've found it and the deal's done. lol
