New House

We (finally!) found a new house. For those people who say it's a buyer's market, I have to disagree! We started looking for houses 6 weeks ago. Our specifications were: older neighborhood with trees, decent size yard, 2 story home, in Fishers. You wouldn't think that would be too much to ask for. We physically walked in and looked at over 90 homes in the Fishers area. Most of the houses met some of our criteria, but not all. We ended up narrowing our search to 3 neighborhoods.

Here's what has happened in the last 2 weeks...We put an offer in on house #1 the same day as someone else. They offered list price...we did not. So, we moved on to house #2...almost put an offer in, until we found out some not so good things about the house from that realtor. Fell in love with house #3...put an offer in. They accepted another offer the night before...again for over list price! (Who the heck offers list price in a buyers market anyway?) Finally moved on to house #4...liked it alot (didn't love it)...made an offer. That seller didn't seem to willing to negotiate. But while we were in the middle of counter offering on house #4, house #3 became available again. For some reason, those buyers backed out. We were so excited! So, we bailed on house #4 and went back to house #3.

So this week we FINALLY made an offer on house #3, they accepted, and we close on it June 13th. Our inspection is next Tuesday...hopefully we won't find any major problems. I don't know if I can handle any more house hunting! :) We close on our old house June 20th, so we'll have a week to paint, clean, and move! God's perfect timing at work once again!

I will say, that our realtors have been AMAZING through this whole process. They sold our house super fast, which in this supposed "buyers market" (I still don't agree, but whatever) is awesome. The realtor who has been showing us homes has also been extremely helpful. I would recommend them to anyone! Here's their website...http://www.the-morris-group.com/
Thanks Debbie, Suzanne, Tracy, Kristi, and Alyssa!

Here's a picture of our new house! It is in Conor Knoll (allisonville and 131st.)
