The House Hunt Continues

So the last time I mentionned homes, we had just gone to see our very first house. It was a very decrepid and very dangerous, mouldy old house. We considered it since Dave is able to do the needed work to it but we realized it would be a lot more work than we had wanted. The land was great but that was about it.

Since then, Dave and I have looked at another two houses.

The first one was a private sale. We were thinking that it would be a real mess inside because it hasnt been lived in for years but when we walked in we were pleasantly surprised at what we found. It would be liveable right away but could definetly use some fixing up.

We thought about it but decided we should keep looking for things closer to our price range.

The next one was initially perfect. It was the right price (we hoped get it lower than the asking price) and it was move in ready and would definetly benefit from work. We actually decided to put an offer in on the house. Unfortunately, the owner is not willing to budge much on her asking price and we think we can find soemthign we will be more excited about for the same of less. So we have a standing offer on that house but will continue to look around at other things.

So far we have been looking in the east end because we had a real estate agent. We are just waiting to hear from a real estate agent in the west and we can compare what we can get for how much. Commute is really important to Dave though so west will mean longer drives for Dave.

Anyways, I'll keep you all posted once there is any other news.
