Yes, it’s been a while. Not much going on besides working, being sick and house hunting! I will, however, update you on the house hunting part.
Two weeks ago we found some houses that we loved in the Mound and Jordan areas. We looked at them all and narrowed it down to two. One in Mound, and one in Jordan. The house in Jordan was too good to pass up… a lot of house for the price. We put in an offer, but were beat by another.
So this last weekend we went house hunting again, but a little further out – in Belle Plaine. All three houses in the area were great! But each one got better as the day went on. We finally ended up at house three, listed for $149,900. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an unfinished basement – this is Rich’s dream home! The only major appliances needed are a garage opener, washer, and dryer. It will also need a deck.
We knew that there were others looking at the house, so we decided to make an offer. It is a short sale, so it is already an amazing deal. We offered $152,300 initially. Then we found out there was someone else making an offer… So we put an even better foot forward and offered $155,000… After that our offer was accepted!
Now we are just waiting on the loan process to finish up – and hopefully we’ll be able to call it home!
Isla Notes: She is sitting up on her own! :-D She’s still a little “shaky” but it won’t be long before she’s a professional sitter!
I also have some great news about Rich, but I will wait to share that! ;-)
