House

Greg and I have been looking at homes for a couple of weeks. I have looked at probably 25 homes and Greg around 10. Who knew there would be so many in our price range! Oh right we live in Arizona, home to thousands of foreclosures and short sales! Well finally I narrowed it down to 4 houses I really liked and wanted Greg to see. Then out of no where I spied a new listing that looked like one I had seen but wasn't sure if I liked or not. I felt that I should give Greg the chance to veto it so I put it on the list. He looked at the info and pictures and off of the info we had he decided that that would be the one he would choose if it had a decent floor plan. I wasn't sure I liked this idea until he pointed out some of it's features that got me thinking, it WASN'T the same floor plan I had thought it was!! SO we decided to see it anyways and hope it was everything we wanted.

To shorten the story we saw it last and fell in love with it!! It's nothing like the floor plan I thought it was, it's so much better, and bigger!! It has been well taken care of and we immediately felt we should put an offer on it! So we did right after seeig it, despite the fact that we had told ourselves we wouldn't do anything too fast. It's a short sale so it will probably be at least 2 months before we know if the bank accepts it or not. We feel pretty good about it since we just found out that the owner has accepted our offer (meaning he is signing a contract with us) and they will only accept other offers (so far they have none) as back up even if they are higher, incase we bailout.

So all we need is the banks ok, and all of the inspections to say it's ok and it's ours!! Cross your fingers for us that all goes smoothly, we really want this house (althoguh there are plenty of others out there if this doesn't work)!!

The front of it, it's a single story which we hear resell very well. I'm excited that I won't have to worry about our kids and the stairs since Axton is obsessed with stairs. Plus I hate running up and downstairs all day long (I think I can thank Hillside for that).

The family room (off of the kitchen):

The master bedroom:

The humongous yard for around here:

And because I know I love hearing the details here are a few. It's a little over 2,600 sq ft, 5 bedroom, 3 full baths. It will be really interesting if Axton ends up being an only child, we'll have to down size! Hopefully that won't be the case though. Wish us luck!
