New Home!

So, we purchased our house this past week. Since we moved here, we have probably looked at about 40 homes. We looked at new spec homes and resale homes too, in all different cities. This house was a great deal. We knew we would put an offer in as soon as we saw it. It was perfect and in a great location. The house was owned by a fighter pilot and his family, so they move for the military every few years. They had just dropped the price $35,000 and we knew they had to move at the end of December. They are moving out of state so we offered them $25,000 less than their new asking price and offered to close by the end of December. So, even though we will have to pay double payments on the house and our rental for about 2 months, we could not pass up the deal on this house. Basically, we bought it for 20% less than what they were asking 2 weeks before we came in. And we had it appraised this week and it is valued at $20,000 more than what we paid.

Anyway, the pictures are below...we can't wait to start moving in. It is 4 bedrooms with 3 full baths. It has 2 floors on one half of the house and a living room and family room that go all the way to the roof on the other half. The yard has a great pool and a walk out patio with a misting system for those 115 degree days. Above the patio in the back is a walk out balcony from the master bedroom upstairs too. The best part of the yard is that it is also private. Even though there are houses around the back, there is no direct line to look into the backyard. So it has some privacy which is very hard to find in homes out here. Can't wait for everyone to come visit.
