House hunt is heating up!!!

Y'all... this stuff is getting so stressful.

We made an offer several weeks ago on an adorable 1 bedroom / 1 bath house that is in a fantastic Sylvan Park location and has great curb appeal and is steps away from the small "shopping/restaurant" district. The cons were the asking price (it came on the market in December and the only bathroom is only accessed through what would be our bedroom... plus the kitchen is really small. The pros were location, curb appeal & the large living room.

Well, we made a much lower than asking price offer, went through some countering before deciding to hold off. She then dropped the list price & someone else made an offer. :(

So we moved on and made an offer on a house in Sylvan Heights this week. 3 bedrooms/3 baths... cute place. It just was listed on the market. Our offer was made in less than 24 hours from listing. Someone else beat us to the punch... so we're now the first backup offer. We'll see what happens.

In the meantime, the offer on the first house fell through & they called to see if we are still interested... so we have a lot of stuff to consider right now...

This stuff is working my nerves, y'all. I cant wait to blog about a final closing!!!

Gurl. You do not want a bathroom that everyone has to traipse through your bedroom to get to! I didn't know that.

Well, gurl... the bathroom issue is a concern... but we also have to think about buying a house for ourselves and not being too worried about buying a "party" house or house for guest quarters.

There isnt a proper second bedroom either, so that cuts out overnight guests for the most part anyway... at least until we add an addition :)

and where is Whitney supposed to sleep when she comes to visit?

You don't have to have extra bedrooms to have parties, but it will come in so handy. You can make an office - have extra rooms for the kitties to run around in. Have a place to go to when Hal won't behave.... and a peaceful place for Whitney to crash when she's had a hard night...

Oh, Whitney... there is a loft/office that has space for a futon type piece of furniture.

The problem is that you'd have to disturb Mimi if you had to go to the loo in the middle of the night or early morning.

I would hold it, Gurl. Whitney has been doing her kegels!
