We're going....

The hunt is on! House hunting that is. Many of you have gone through the experience in one way or another so I'm sure you know the fun that is associated with it. David and I are lucky that we have a few months before we really need to get serious. I remember that often, when my parents have been looking for houses, their time frame was no longer than 4 days! Between the internet searching and foot views, I have probably seen hundreds of homes in the past month and a half! I think I've narrowed it down a bit as far as floor plan and location. We've also come to agree on the key amenities for us; open updated kitchen, general open feel throughout the home, clean clean clean!!! I have been amazed that cleanliness is not a given when trying to sell a home. I've walked into garbage, old messes, floors that haven't seen a vacuum in days. Apparently it's not standard to clean your home if you are moving...my bad!

Even so, it's a very fun adventure to be a part of. Also very grown up. It's nice that right now seems to be the time to buy. With interest rates so low and housing prices below value, we're bound to find something that will work and be a great deal.
