House Shopping

We made a decision several months ago to start looking around at houses. The one we are in is not where we want to stay. I had hoped we would stay in it a little longer but that is neither here nor there right now. When we started looking we weren't going inside any of them. We were looking at neighborhoods and prices, etc. There was one neighborhood, close to the one we are in but a little more "off the beaten path". Houses in there were selling for more than we wanted to buy for -- until yesterday. Mr. Man was driving through the neighborhood and saw a for sale sign. It had a place for brochures but nothing inside. He called our realtor who looked into it -- it is in our price range (the higher end of our range but in our range nonetheless). We arranged to look inside. It has a newly remodeled kitchen. A huge deck and a huge yard. There are several things we dislike about our current house.... one is the teeny-tiny kitchen and the other is the teeny-tiny yard.
I have spent a lot of time in prayer this morning because I want to do the right thing and not want my mind says to do!

Oh honey, good luck!! I love house-buying! Not house-moving, mind you, but the excitement of buying is so exciting. If it's meant to be...

It is good time to buy. We were thinking about purchasing a house since the exchange rate between Euro and dollar was so good. My mom, who is Vice Pres for bank, advised us to wait next year. The market will get lower. So that is what we are doing.

If this is the house for you, I've got my fingers crossed!
