The second time around, Rob and I are trying not to get ahead of ourselves. This means trying not to fall in love with a house or deciding what kind of kitchen trash can we are going to need to buy until AFTER the home inspection is complete and gives us the OK to do so. This is all easier said than done. Rob is already reading websites and blogs about how to paint kitchen cabinets, because the ones in the house we are in "like" with (for now) needs a major face lift.
But I figured I would give you all a little update on the house hunt as it stands right now. We moved our search to another suburb of Atlanta further east and looked at about 10 more houses this past week. One of those houses we have seen twice now and decided to put an offer on today. We are hoping to hear back from the sellers tomorrow, but we are familiar enough with the waiting game now that we know it might take longer than that. The house is pretty different than the last house we almost bought, but it's a good house and with a little TLC it could be a great house. It's in a nice neighborhood and only about 3 miles from Rob's mom's house. And it is a traditional brick front, two-story home with shutters, much more appealing than the very yellow house we almost bought.

Fingers crossed! Good to hear you like the neighborhood for this house. That's one of those things you can't change (no matter how hard you try).
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes that's for sure, our realtor tells us that you can't change a neighborhood every time we go look at a house. So we don't even look at a house if we can't live with the neighborhood. This one is a nicer one though which is a plus.
