Last week, we went out with D and were only able to actually look at one house. Luckily for us, this house (which I will from now on call The Cottage) has nearly everything we're looking for in a house! There is a lot more living space with a half story upper level, 2 bedrooms on the main floor, and a finished basement and it has 3 bathrooms instead of just the 1 compared to the LYH, PLUS it's not a short sale (yay!). We were almost considering putting an offer in on it that night, but decided that the smart thing to do would be to sleep on it and at least look at a few more houses the next week. All through out the week, all L and I could do was talk about what we could do with the house and what we like about it compared to the LYH that we are starting to give up on. The LYH has definitely lost it's charm to us ever since we found out that it would be a ridiculous amount of time until we hear anything about it.
Today we went out again with D and were able to take a look at 3 more houses that we were fortunately able to cross off our list of possibilities (it makes the hunting process SO much easier!). One house had the residents there while we were looking due to some miscommunication on their listing agent's behalf, so it was awkward having the lady following us the whole time and not really giving us a chance to look on our own. Needless to say, we will not be putting an offer on that house. The other two houses we saw were okay, but they didn't top The Cottage, so it looks like we'll be meeting with D again to go see 2 more houses and then see The Cottage one more time and then we'll decide if we want to put an offer on it that night!
Wish us luck...
