Repost from LIF- We bid on a house!!! Update 1/13/08!!

I can't believe it!! I couldn't sleep all last night because my brain kept thinking about it. It's small... only 2 bedrooms but it has a full basement.

Keep your fingers crossed... hopefully I'll know something within the next day.

Update 1/7/08:

Ok, so she counter offered and it's close to our figure! I am SO SCARED, excited, and nervous. I don't know what to do. On the one hand, it has so much charm. I could see living in it. It doesn't need much work to move in and what it does need is totally doable. However, it's small- 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. We would have the basement, which spans the whole length of the house. My dad and DH could finish it. So it does double our living space from 990 sq. ft upstairs to 1980 sq. ft. I guess I always envisioned something bigger but it does have charm. I'm rambling because I am scared. I've never been so scared in my life- not even when marrying DH! Anyone else feel this way- have second thoughts?

Here is a picture of the dining room (she has it cluttered beyond belief)

View into the kitchen- needs work but isn't terrible. DH and my father could seal up the other entrance and we could put counters all the way around

Update 1/13/08:

Our offer was ACCEPTED!!!!! So now we are scheduling a home inspection. If all goes well, we'll be HOMEOWNERS!

Re: Repost from LIF- We bid on a house!!!

It definately is a doable house! If you can, could you put a smaller bedroom in the basement??? I think that it is a perfect house for you now!!!!

Re: Repost from LIF- We bid on a house!!!

Congrats Hollie!! This is a very exciting and VERY scary time right now. It's prob the biggest purchase you're ever going to make so it's perfectly natural to feel the way you do.

Good luck!!!

Re: Repost from LIF- We bid on a house!!!

It's a beautiful house. If you can see yourself in it, go for it. It's big enough for you guys right now. It'll help build equity and when you guys are ready for something bigger, this house will help in a major way. It's better than renting. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

BTW - So happy to see you're doing so great.

Re: Repost from LIF- We bid on a house!!!

I am thrilled for you Hollie! It looks like a charming place! So what that its small! Its going to be YOURS and thats all that matters for now...later on you'll move on to bigger and better things! I also like the kitchen. I love old world charm so I would totally leave it and maybe just change the appliances...you'll figure it out...I'm so excited for you! Keeping my fingers crossed of course that all goes well!

Re: Repost from LIF- We bid on a house!!!

Just to keep you all updated!

We're going for a second walk through tomorrow night with both of our dads. My dad is handy and his dad has bought some homes. Hopefully all will go well.

We're also going to look at one more house tonight which is in the same price range.
