In a crazy twist

[compassrose]

The house I had wanted to put an offer in on this weekend (it had multiple offers and accepted on before mine got in) went back on the market this afternoon, so I went to go see it this afternoon, and withdrew my offer from the other house to buy this one. It's more expensive, but still in my budget, and it's a forever house (the other was beautiful, but small and we'd only stay there 5-6 years). Bonus, this house is SO's favorite house, too (we have trouble agreeing sometimes).

And they are signing the paperwork now! So I bought a different house after all that. Insane.

Sorry they are so big.

Holy hell. Hold me. I'm scared.

I'm so nervous waiting for them to sign that I'm not sure how much sense I'm making, but this house is much bigger and nicer, just more expensive, which freaks me out even though I know we'll be ok. Just have a much smaller efund for a while.

LMAO Those people are just glad they don't have to rake that lawn again.

That's what a mulching lawnmower + SO are for : )

I love the photo of the back yard - so picturesque.

But yeah, I would not want to mow that.

Squee! Love this one too.

Did you buy this one? Congrats!! Our offer on a lovely house just got rejected. There were 10 other offers over 90k above the listing price

Lovely! When was it built? Based on just those pictures, it is the exact same house as the one my ILs used to have!

Looks awesome! Congrats! Sometimes things just work out the way they're supposed to!

Thanks guys! It was built in 1978, and it's only had one owner. And now me!!

Yeah, both houses were multiple offer situations, and I lost out the first round but it went back on the market today and I won this time!

Also, the lot is only half an acre-- the picture is angled to make it look bigger.
