Matt and I were looking for a little while and we picked out 60 in one city. Then we went through all of those and narrowed it down to like 3 that were for sure yes's. Why? Picky :) But we realized we could get what we wanted for our price...we just had to look.Lucky in Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153263619520465219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481968918373095393.post-24361287997184098592009-10-22T09:47:31.799-07:002009-10-22T09:47:31.799-07:00The list will definitely help you out - although, ...The list will definitely help you out - although, I would't worry too much about sidewalks. Other than having those, our house is a 3-2 with laminate floors, in an excellent school district, and in a safe quiet neighborhood. I really love those things! <br /><br />But, since it's our starter/first home, there are things about it that I don't like: the popcorn ceilings, the old baseboards/doors/doorframes in the bedrooms, the kitchen that needs updating, the super-ugly master bathroom that also needs updating. But, when looking at homes, I knew that those things could be changed. The neighborhood, the general size and layout of the house, and the school district can not. That's what we focused on, and I'm still so happy with our home 3 years after buying it!<br /><br />I did TONS of research on the internet - looking at different realty websites and in different areas. That way, I was educated as to what houses cost in certain areas, and what houses I might want to look at in person! I thought that really helped us to narrow down what we wanted and what we looked at.<br /><br />Good luck!! Buying a house is a stressful process, but very worth it!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209533406055486161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481968918373095393.post-4843535856623876152009-10-22T09:29:51.496-07:002009-10-22T09:29:51.496-07:00I think what you want is pretty realistic, just ne...I think what you want is pretty realistic, just need luck finding it at the right time and right price!Shannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00905344569039384899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6481968918373095393.post-25947619370324721622009-10-22T09:28:47.578-07:002009-10-22T09:28:47.578-07:00I think your "must have" list is going i...I think your "must have" list is going in the right direction.
