Home Sweet Home?

In the 18+ years that Andy and I have been together, we have lived in 5 houses, 1 townhouse, and we each lived in apartments when we met.  We have owned 4 of the 5 houses and are now jumping back into home ownership after living in a rental home for the past 18 months.

It's been an interesting journey...our FABULOUS agent, Beth, took us to a number of houses starting in January.  Nothing really caught our eyes.  We continued looking a put in a VERY low-ball offer on a house.  They rejected the offer...we were glad.  Then we put in an offer on another house and everything was going very well until they discovered termite damage...not fun!  When it came down to repairs that we requested, they didn't seem very interested, so we walked away from that house.  The hunt continued...unsuccessfully for a while...and then we found THE house.  It will be our third house within a stone's throw to an elementary school that our children will not be attending. 

The inspection was today and went fairly well.  We'll submit our request for repairs and cross our fingers...I'll keep you posted.
