More Hunting for Houses
Mar. 12th, 2010 12:14 pmWe saw three more houses on Sunday morning. We're somewhat interested in two of them, but the other has been eliminated from our list as it needs a well. Apparently, wells can run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Aside from that, buying a house without a well requires a special kind of mortgage, and we just don't want to get involved with that sort of thing.
The first house we liked is bigger on the inside, and basically move-in ready. It's a bit small, though, and seems to have birds in the roof. It would also need paint, and the kitchen surfaces need some love.
The other house we like needs a lot more work, but it's larger than the first. It also has over an acre of land, and there's a private pond down the street. The problem with this one, aside from the work it needs, is that it's a bit farther from Rich's job.
We're sort of undecided as to which we'd like to put an offer on, so we're going to see another house Saturday morning. We're also going to talk to our mortgage broker about maybe getting a bigger budget, since the taxes on the places we're looking at are much lower than what she based her calculations on.
I was really excited about house shopping at first, but now I find that I'm getting a little bored with it. It's like, "Ok, I've done this part. Can we get to the next part now?"
