On Sunday (7.17.05), I had to get out and look at the house Meri and I have been drooling over for what seemed like forever now. That house lived up to what hype we fed ourselves. That house was absolutely gorgeous! Only bad thing was the yard. Exposed roots in the front yard and a very tiny back yard. The interior of the house was beautiful! It definitely wow-ed us. Price is good, it is $219,900.

Monday, 7.18.05, we looked at about 4 or 5 houses. It should have been more but our realtor got kept getting us lost! We didn’t have a great day of looking until the very last house. It is the only contendor to the first house. Cons of that house are as follows: very open living room/dining room, the previous owners did the hardwood floors (NOT laminate flooring) themselves and left gaps in a lot of places, and finally, the house is 20k more than we wanted to spend! It is $239,000

Now since we don’t feel too bad about spending $240k on a house, we are going back through the printouts that the realtor gave us and picking out some of the rejected homes because they were “too expensive”. We found 11 more that we want to see. Originally, we had 13 so now we are going to be looking at about 24 homes in this area. $240k-$245k is going to be our new max; we can’t go above that though. We are slated to look at 5 more homes today. We need a house that we can both agree on and both really like. I hope we find one, otherwise one of us is going to have to settle.
