House hunting

Well, it has been since August that we have house hunted. We had found the perfect house for us and then the deal fell through. We were heart broken. After that we kind of just chilled for a while.

After some of the more recent events of things taking place in our neighborhood we decided that we will not be waiting until after the school year to find a new home. I have been looking at houses online and have just not found anything that jumps out at me yet. I think that I am comparing everything to "the house we almost had" and that is making it quite difficult. I have not contacted my realtor yet because we would rather have our broker give us the 100% approval go ahead first so that nothing will pop up on our end to stop us.

I really can't wait to move. All the houses that we are looking at will have at least one more bedroom, possibly 2 living areas and usually they have a separate dining room. The number 1 thing is that we will be moving from a almost 1100 sq ft house to a house anywhere between 1800 - 2300 sq ft home! That is a huge difference. The school districts where we are living are absolutely wonderful! This will be a wonderful thing all around!

It is kind of scary purchasing a home. We will be spending a bit more money on a house then we are now, but we obviously have to for what we are wanting/needing. I am going to have to sit down and do a budget and learn to stick to it.

I will try to post about our home buying journey. Hopefully we will start looking at houses next week. I am kind of scared to fall in love with another house and make an offer on it though. I don't want to lose another one, but I know that all things happen for a reason!
