We saw 6 houses on Monday.  We made an offer on one of them.  We negotiated back and forth with the sellers and today we sealed the deal.  The house is a BARGAIN (woot, for buyer’s market!) and will end up costing us about the same as our condo.  The house is an ugly duckling from the outside.  The inside has a lot of potential.  It mostly needs updating.  It has an awesome bi-level deck off the dining room, it has a kitchen with a breakfast bar, a woodburning fireplace in the living room, and gas stove with exposed brick in the family room.  It has FOUR bedrooms and two baths, a mudroom, and a 2-car garage.  It’s on a quarter acre.  We will have 1200 more square feet of living space than we currently have.  And the best part is that we will have nice neighbors!!!!!

We’ll post pictures after our property inspection…..w00t!
