Every day our realtor sent us listings. We went through them, and marked those we really liked with hearts and those that were possibilities with light bulbs. Jana babysat Valentina while we went out house hunting with our realtor. After viewing about 7 homes we finally saw one we could live in. Then we went to another house in Annandale and fell in love. The two houses we saw after that one were okay. We then went to 7104 Kenmont, a house we had marked with a heart online. It had everything we wanted - a nice open living room, a great kitchen with lots of storage, a gas stove and stainless steel appliances, bedrooms that can fit our furniture, a lower level that can hold all of Valentina's toys, a big backyard and, most importantly, it was in our price range.
When we walked out of that house we knew we wanted to put an offer in, but our realtor told us to think it over and let her know how we wanted to proceed. The next day we told her we were in and she prepared a contract for us. While Valentina was playing with the Kormans and Petersons we talked to our realtor, signed forms and dropped them off to her at 10pm.
On Monday, February 9th we received a phone call as I was putting Valentina to sleep that our offer was accepted. It was a very exciting moment and yet another step forward on our adventure in homeownership.
Valentine's Day we spent doing the most romantic thing in the world... a home inspection. We both knew we wanted this house when we walked in hoping there were no major issues with the house. There weren't and we were relieved.
On March 27th we are scheduled to close on our house. Until then we will spend many hours on Google and Pinterest thinking of ideas and paint schemes we like. Ideas welcome!
