Adventures in house hunting

[mousme]

The buyers who were supposed to come by the apartment today never showed up, which blew a giant hole in the middle of when I was supposed to be sleeping. I am displeased, but the real estate agent assures me this will not happen again. Time will tell.

I am going back to see the place with which I fell in love tomorrow afternoon. I am taking the Maternal Unit with me, because she has bought and sold lots of houses over her lifetime and I trust her experience in these matters. Her opinion won't make or break the decision to buy, but I want another pair of eyes there in order to potentially dump a bucket of ice water on my head if I need it.

I am about 90% sure that I will be making an offer by this time tomorrow, although that doesn't preclude my continuing to visit other houses during the negotiations. I really hope that no one else buys the house from under me, and that the current owners and I will be able to reach an agreement that's suitable for all.

The short version of the story is that I'm trying very hard to remain level-headed and objective and calm about this whole thing, but really all that's happening is that I have "HOUSE!!!" \o/ \o/ \o/ "HOUSE!!!" on loop in my head. ;)

I can understand why you fell in love with it. It's gorgeous! And that yard is fantastic.

Oh wow!! N and I looked at the property, drooled over the kitchen, and N said, "Okay, tell Phnee that I can move in when she's got the place." We love the kitchen, for sure, and I drooled over the huge bathtub and the gardens!

I hope that everything turns out well for you with the house hunting!

That is a super cute house and I love the inside, but the pool will be a pain to keep up for one person. I suspect this is not insurmountable though!

Buy that one.

That house is ADORABLE! I can see why you love it! Good luck with things!

(the house hunting dreams are never stressful, unless it's one of the dreams where I'm looking for the bathroom and for some reason the house doesn't HAVE any....the houses just go on forever, have weird passages, bedrooms with pea green carpeting tacked on to foyers with marble flooring)
