The layout of a house is extremely inportant to me as well as the yard. The layout is important because it keeps the house organized. I want bedrooms away from the rest of the house. Well apparently that is not easy to find. Secondly, we must have a nice yard for our doggies. Plus I don't like to have mu neighbors stuck right next to me. Need my breathing room.
Well the house I live in now has all of that. They perfect layout and a great yard. BUT realistically when we go to start a family we would have to move because it only has 2 bedrooms.
The realtor took is to see a few homes in a certain price range to compare to mu current house. Out of no where she decides to take us to see a more expensive home just to see it. -_- well guess what?! We put an offer in for that one.
There it is. It was our dream house! Same things I loved about my current house only upgraded and bigger. We fell head over heels and worked hard to get it!
After like 1 week of working to get it we ended up walking away from the deal! :'( It was heartbreaking but we found out we would have to put in a lot of money to repair some things and we were over paying for it. We made the tough call and walked away. It was a bit of a relief for me because all though it was my dream house it was in a bad neighborhood which scared me. Our immediate surrounding streets were excellent and upscale but a few streets away was a different story.
So we walked away, great...what now? We were back to zero and needed to find a new house. I had already told my landlord i was leaving so I needed to find a house soon. We searched and searched day and night and nothing was catching our eye. We would find some houses but they always had a big but!
Last Thursday however, we found one! I pulled up to the house, got out of my car and noticed the garden in front of the house.
A Tulip garden!!! I immediately said this might be a good sign because they are my favorite flowers! I walked through the house and fell in love again! This was the one. I sent videos to my fiancee who was back in DC and he agreed. We put in an offer and the next day it was accepted :D
There it is!!! We are so excited and have our fingers crossed that all goes well with this one. I notice I am more relaxed this time around an have a better vibe this time around! Like we are making the right decision.
My home inspection is on Saturday. Can't wait to be in the house once again! Will keep you all posted on what goes on.
This has been an amazing learning experience. I have matured so much from all this. I feel that with this experience I shed a bit of the fear I had of being an adult and independent. I can't wait for this new adventure!
XOXO,
Lina
