House Hunt

We have been house hunting and Monday was THE best day ever! We loved a house and are making an offer today.  Keep your fingers crossed.  More details if (and when) we get it. 

Refreshing!

House hunting is an emotional roller coaster of highs and lows.  We first started in March, found one we loved on our first HUNT, but also had a phone call that my husband's union was talking about striking. Needless to say we didn't pursue houses again until things cleared up.  Meanwhile, I was addicted to Red Fin, ReMax, and Zillow sites, furiously looking through pictures of all sorts of houses.  Read: organized my life around when I would receive  emailed updates of new houses on the market...10:00 at night. House addict?  

So after going on 2 more house visits rounds, looking at 8-10 houses each round,  we thought we'd never find one we really liked, or at least as much as the other. Then Rob added the extra fun of saying he wanted a pool...I told him he can play in the sprinkler as this had everything to do with the fact that we were house hunting during a HEAT WAVE.

Well, round 3 was a charm. We liked the first one it had a pool, we liked the second one for it's bigger closets and upstairs washer dryer hook-ups, but the third one was our favorite.  We looked at two more, and one is a close second and better on the pocket book, but no back yard.  Hmmm.

We will have to see what happens.  Hoping for our favorite!
