What house to buy?

[wolf_Q]

Well we have an offer in on house #2. Someone else has an offer in too, so what will be will be, not going any higher. The house has great potential if the basement was finished and some cosmetic work done on the upstairs it would definitely be worth considerably more...just for the fact of the yard alone. It's huge, fenced on all but one side, has pine trees, garden, 3 sheds, cement pad, covered patio. It's more than we need but its a good deal. We'll see.

Congratulations. Fingers and paws crossed in the hopes that you get it.

IMO you made a good decision. House #1 is so small, as is the parcel it is on. Might be fine for a single, but after a year or so as a couple, you would most likely find it very cramped, and you might not be in a position to find something more suitable.

Good luck!

Catching this rather late in the game.. but I'd go for #2 as well. We currently live in 1492 sq ft townhouse.. two people, 3 dogs.. Its enough space for us, but it'd be wonderful to have a basement of that size! We don't even have one.. much less that large.

I hope your offer goes well.. I know short sales can drag on and on!

Good luck, Amy! I'd go with house #2, if it falls through, I'd keep looking for that perfect house.

Well they accepted our offer. It's still not for sure, we'll see what happens. This is scary and exciting at the same time.

Well now ... TWO Houses, huh?
Congrats!

Back to the Wedding Plans.

Congrats!!! I hope that everything will go smoothly. I'm asuming that you'll also be getting a home inspection done so hopefully that will go well too. Do you have any pictures of the house yet?
