A Turn of Events

Since loosing our 2nd house (actually 4 if you count the two that we low-balled) I couldn't stop myself from continuing to look for houses. I really think that I have a slight compulsion with house hunting. Real estate may actually be my calling...but that's another blog. After being clinically depressed for two days after loosing the blue craftsman to a higher offer, another house came on the market that was also very cute. We scheduled an appointment with our Realtor for Saturday at 3:30 to view this teal craftsman. Here's a picture of it...

But...a few hours before we met, our Realtor called to let us know that the blue craftsman (pic in prior blog) was back on the market. The previous buyer backed out because after spending more time in the house they felt that it would be too small for their family of 3 kids! So, we looked at the teal one and the blue one again and decided to put in another offer on the blue one. They accepted and now we need an inspection. But we don't want to get too excited because we've been here this far with another house and it fell through due to some hefty repairs that needed done. This one looks in great shape but it's so hard to tell what will be revealed with these older homes. After all, it was built in 1936 and is 72 years old. Here's a picture of it...
