It's crazy to me how things work out.
My last post I shared about how frustrated we were getting about house hunting. We found the "perfect" house but couldn't afford it. We've looked at countless houses in the last two months, houses ranging from city homes to country homes. Old homes to new homes. Fixer uppers, mostly.
But after looking at the "perfect" house and cementing what our budget truly is, then spending some time in prayer (well, I did at least), a seed was planted in my heart. That seed was a house that we saw among the first houses that we looked at. At the time, we had written that house off because it didn't have a fireplace and because it didn't have that it factor that we were looking for. It was a fine house, nothing wrong with it, but we just weren't sure. But after two months, we finally had the experience under our belt. We've seen what's available in our budget. We've seen what you get in our budget. And most of it is crap. So when we went to look at this house on Saturday night, we were able to see the house with fresh eyes. Eyes that had the experience and knowledge that wasn't there the first time. And it was a whole new experience.
So we put an offer in. LoL.
We have a verbal agreement with the seller, but we aren't officially under contract until we get the paperwork, which will hopefully be today!
Is it perfect? No. It doesn't have a fireplace. It will need a new deck. It will eventually need a new HVAC unit. Lots of paint (it's painted like a beach house lol).
But if there's one thing that I've learned, our budget won't get us perfect.
