The Crazy Story.

We had been house hunting for eight months and were getting frustrated with the search. We were about to throw in the towel and sign our lease for six more months. I don't know what changed our minds, but we decided we would take one more look before making the final decision.

We went house hunting last Tuesday night not expecting to find anything, but we found TWO houses! We'll call this House #1. It was bank owned but it was in excellent condition. We planned on going Saturday to look at this house again and make an offer on it.

We'll call this House #2. We fell in love with it from the moment we stepped inside. It was completly flipped with hard wood floors, stainless steel appliances, granite, finished basement. It was a bit smaller but we still loved it and planned to go there on Saturday and see it in the daylight.

Saturday our realtor called and said he is going to take us to one more house in the same neighborhood as House #1. We went to the this unscheduled house first and thought it was nice but we still had our heart set on House #1. So we got to House #1 and realize it needs appliances, new windows, new carpet in the basement, and there may be flooding in the basement. It was just too much work for what we prefered in a first home.

So we go to House #2 and decide that will be the house we choose. But when we look at House #2 in the daylight we realize it is next to a trailer park and railroad tracks. No thank you.

The unexpected house we saw first was starting to look good after this so we went back to have a second look. We go to lunch to discuss it and then sleep on it and made an offer Sunday afternoon.

I've been writing this post for three days now and things keep changing. The crazy story just got crazier! I'll keep ya posted...
