House Hunting

For the past couple of weeks I have been house hunting. It is something that has been in the works for just a little while, but has now finally gone into action. I have gone looking a couple times and found some great places.

I fell in love with the first house we went to. It was one I had fallen in love with online, but knew that seeing a place in person is much different. Much to my surprise, I liked it even better than I did online. It is a condo/townhouse and is basically the upstairs front section of this building (the windows and deck you can see is all the house I am looking at)...

So today I took the next big step towards becoming a home owner: I PUT IN AN OFFER! I have been a little stressed in deciding what place to go with, but I feel really good about moving forward with this one. It is a short sale and I just might be in for the long haul on it, but in the end I think it will be worth it.

I never thought I would be growing up this fast! Who ever thought I would be buying a house at age 22?!? I sure didn't! I am so excited and have appreciated every one's support and excitement for me. Hopefully things will work on on this place and I will have good news to report soon...

Congrats - looks nice! Is that in my old neighborhood?

Yay...I guess. No really, I am very excited for you, I am just more sad that you are leaving me. You still have 3 more years of the 5 year plan to go...

But seriously, that house is really cute and you would still be super close to me. So I am VERY excited about that!

I am glad you put in an offer. I hope you get. Especially since you love it so much. I think it is great that at 22 you are in the position to buy a house.

I think it's a great buy too and hope it works out for you. You probably have some super cool realtor that's helping you too. Make sure not to let him slack. Make him work his tail end off until you get that place. :)
