We currently live at 15908 Lime Grove Rd. It has been so great being here. It is a fun house! The deck is amazing, it is big enough to have company over for dinner, family in town to stay with us, has a great pool, beautiful sunsets, etc. But it's time for us to buy our own home! So, we've been looking around quite a bit the last few months, not super seriously but trying to get a feel for the market and what is out there in our price range and what types of things we like. Now we are starting to get kind of serious where we are ready to buy if /when we find something we like. It is a little bit fun and a lot bit stressful! It is such a big decision and we want to do the right thing for our family and for our finances! We have run across a few houses we really loved. A couple we saw while we were still not seriously looking and one was 3 BR, not 4, but otherwise would have been great. I am worried we won't find the just right house, but a wise friend told me today, it only takes one house to be the right one. Hopefully it comes our way in the next few months. If we don't see anything we like, we have up to a year to make a decision and move out. I figure we need to know where we are going by this time next year so Clare can enroll in middle school and plus, a year is plenty long to look for a house!
We check Zillow and redfin daily (ok 50 times daily) .I go to lots of open houses. It is a busy time. A few nights ago I dreamed of the perfect house 2500 sq feet, ocean view and the perfect price. (only in my dreams...that real house would be several million)! Obviously if I dream about this, it is something I am thinking about a lot.
The kids have come to MANY open houses with us. they love to go in and say "this is my room" "I love this house" "I would never live here" etc etc. They get a kick out of little things like closets, carpet on the stairs. They are fun kids.
