Wow! So Sudden

So, last time I was looking at a house we didn't get.
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!

House Hunting

It was a sad week. Our dream out finally got sold. It's been Under Contract for over a month, and I decided to email the agent saying that if things fell through, we're still interested as we now may have the money. They called back to say it had been sold that morning. Noo!!Oh well. It wasn't meant to be.
But we've got a lot more of our deposit saved up now, which gives us more options when we go to the banks.
Going through my house junk mail I'm getting sent to me (the lazy persons way to house hunt) I found an odd house out at Highbury. For what we're looking for $265,000 seems to cheap, so it makes me wonder what is wrong with it. What do you think?
Anyway, we're just waiting a bit, building up a bit more of a deposit so we can go for the nicer looking houses.
July 1 is time to start scoping out the banks, credit unions and home loan places though. Denise's HECS bill gets indexed, tax returns will be coming in soon and the new brighter financial year will start.
In the mean time, we look and wait.
