Houses....again

We went house hunting in a different area last night. I liked the area a bit better - much quicker to the interstate, quite a bit less taxes (9.64 per 1000 vs 13.40) and nicer schools (from what I have heard anyway). Wasn't as blown away with as many houses though. There were 3 that we liked out there. Our realtor had us meet with some very reputable builders to show us a couple of the homes out there. She told them where we were looking to spend and one of the houses (the one we liked) was $20,000 above that. She thinks that means that they believe that they might go down on the price. Of the "lived-in" houses that we saw, there were two we liked, one more than the other. The one we really liked was priced decently (about where we would really like our max to be) has 4 bedrooms, finished basement, pretty kitchen with cherry cabinets, wood floors, an island, a pantry, but it has a really small breakfast area. Good thing it has a formal dining (and formal living) room. It is on a corner lot, but not the biggest backyard. The other one was more of an "ok" house, but ok enough to work. It also has 4 bedrooms, a big kitchen and breakfast area, but no finished basement.

We're going to look some more tomorrow, so hopefully Owen will lay down for an early nap. It will be the first time we have him with us while we are looking. His opinion matter though!!

Poor Daddy though-his only day off for awhile and we are looking at houses. But hey, at least we are getting out of the house!

I'll report again later.
