With the new year roling in Scott and I decided to be able to jump two feet into the housing market. After only 1 weekend of seeing 18 houses we finally found THE ONE.
Let me tell you about it! It is a three bedroom 2.5 bath on 1.5 acres, in the town of Cedarburg. If you look at the pictures of the last post it is the middle one. Now this house is going to NEED A LOT of loving, carpet, and paint. The current family has done nothing to the house except landscape the yard.
We wrote up an offer on the house Sunday (1.30.11) and received a counter offer by Monday (1.31.11) night. We countered their counter offer Tuesday (2.1.11) at noon and recieved thier acceptance of our counter offer by quarter to five the same day!! Scott got to leave work early because of the weather and stopped in by me at work and handed me his phone with a text from our realtor with the words ACCEPTED OFFER!!! We are so excited and blessed to get this house and could agree on an amount so soon!
We now have to do all the inspections and testing of the well and septic because we are in the town of Cedarburg. We are still in our lease at our apartment until Aug. 31 but will be closing on the house on April 29, 2011. We plan on giving our notice to our manager so they can try to find another renter by the time we want to move out!
