Our New Possible Home

As we were house hunting we came across this one. It quickly became Jesse's favorite because it was a good price for the amount of square footage and the size of the yard. I have reservations about it because the layout isn't ideal for us. But with Jesse's abilities in construction that can be fixed. But, again I just didn't have the desire to live in a house that needs to be remodeled again. We have done that the last 7 1/2 years in our current home. But the more we looked we decided to put an offer in on this house. It's still in Bountiful, which is something that I like. It's one of those situations where we have to weigh out the pros with the cons. And the pros started out weigh the cons.

The day(Wed, Feb 4) we decided to put in an offer we met with our realtor, Kristen Price (she's a family friend of the Smith Family). But that day we found out that this house went into Short Sale. Which is a good thing and a complicated thing. Thankfully we have Kristen to help us with all the paper work.

Since it went into short sale, that means we have to deal more with the bank. And we wouldn't know how long it would be before we found out if our offer would be accepted or not. And since te bank would be involved it would take longer,

Well, Friday night Jesse got a text message from Kristen telling us Congrats because our offer was accepted.

Now we are feeling frantic to get our house on the market. So we have spent several hours cleaning and touching things up to make it look really nice for showing and pictures.

So hopefully we'll get our house on the market soon, and get it sold. And it's our prayer we can make good money from it so we can put a good down payment on the new home.

If all goes well, we could be getting this new house. Kind of an exciting change for our family.
