Still Hunting...





So the hunt continues for a house. We had a house lined up but they didn't want to take a contingency contract for us selling our house and... someone else bought it. Damnit!
I think we are up to about house number 20 on houses that we have looked at and gone thru. I can't say enough good things about our Real Estate Agent. It's a good thing he is a friend of mine i don't know if anyone else would put up with us. It's not even that we are that picky. We just can't seem to find anything that works for us that stays on the market long enough to buy, or even get to do a walkthru of.
On the up side we did have a couple come to our house and like it enough to put an offer on it. They naturally offered way under what we were asking, and that's not a good thing. We countered back with another offer but they said it was still too much. I guess they are just worried about spending the money on a house being that they are first time home buyers. But they have to consider that ours IS an end unit. That and it has hard wood floors thruout the downstairs, and a brand new deck in the back. Oh yeah and the fact that our price is still at least 5K less than any other house in the neighborhood. Oh well. So the waiting continues. This Sucks!
I just want to find a house to make my own. Paint, Pictures, new furniture, and MORE ROOM.
I'll keep the blog posted as time goes on and we see more and more houses.
