Episode VII: Getting Smarter
It's been a while since my last post. Let me catch you up to speed.
It's graduations season for my students, so I'm making sure all my little ducks graduate high school...while fighting off some sort of strep/mono hybrid that "just has to run its course" according to my doctor. Ugh.
Still have managed to keep up with Celebration and Cinco De Mayo. :)
The short sale is out, no FHA loans for the distressed condo. Turns out the condo association the place was in is currently in a lawsuit with the construction company for building errors. Glad we know this now before we bought. We are ruling out those condos almost entirely as an option.
That being said, we are realizing we may want to bump up our budget for a home be about another 100k. We want a potential forever home now, not just the skinniest slice we can slink ourselves into. We like Spring Park and the East Village the most now.
We have started checking with the town hall to pick up the "open house schedules" that are printed for guests on the weekends and hitting those up. Informative because each one gives us a deeper glimpse into what is out there. There were 3 $600,000+ homes for show. Gorgeous and out of our price range, but still fun and we got to feel out the realtors who had the listings.
We may see a few places during the week. My husband is in full job search mode for our new future side of town. They are opening Sweet Escapes this month--he would be perfect for that place. Just perfect.
Things we are dreaming of now:
--Husband's New Job
--Getting through Graduation Season
--Winning the lotto to get one of the 4/4 3500 sq. foot homes we saw today
--Drooling over the new Brighton bracelet I was surprised with today!
