The following things happened in very quick succession that is resulting in me waiting for Denise to get home with the form for me to sign, scan and email to a property agent.
Sunday we went house hunting.
The second to last house of the day was 'The House'. It has everything! Newly carpeted, new carpets, new paint, new kitchen (never been cooked in) and HUGE backyard. I'm talking about room for a full size tennis court and swimming pool. Or an orchard of fruit trees and chickens. We were in love.
We showed my folks online. They liked it.
Monday I called up several mortgage brokers, a bank, the real estate agent and organised meetings.
Tuesday we had a meeting with two mortgage brokers.
Wednesday we walked through the house again and had a meeting with another mortgage broker.
Unfortunately my parents didn't like it as much as we did and put doubt in our minds. From what I've heard from many people, they did a very parent thing when the young chic not only leaves the nest, but starts building/buying it's own nest.
Wednesday and Friday I spoke with a friend of the family who is a real estate agent. She answered a few questions and concerns we had.
Anyway, we're now surer than we were before, we love this place, and provided there is no structural damage (and there could be doubts since one room has wall paper that has been painted over, and there are cracks under that), then we are going to be buying a house.
YIPEE!
And this is why I love it.
BACKYARD! OMG!
