So continuing the trend the MF and I are house hunting!
We have talked about buying a place once we were engaged for a while now but more recently we have decided to actually start looking for several reasons. Since he has made it somewhat clear in a very secretive way (if that even makes sense) that a proposal is right around the corner and we know it may take us a while to find a house we love we felt it was time to start looking.
We have been online for hours searching for houses in this one specific area we have agreed on settling down at and last night we met with a real estate agent to view 2 houses. Both looked amazing in pictures, were in our price range and were in our desired area however upon our in person visit were somewhat disappointing.
The first was priced really well had 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and described as open concept which is a must on our list. When we arrived the home owners and 6 others (I'm guessing family members) greeted us at the door, the lady of the house proceeded to show us around saying "isn't this nice" every 2 minutes. No! It wasn't nice, not at all!! In fact it was horrible I knew from the minute I stepped 2 feet in the door. Pictures can be SO deceiving!
The second house was a lot better and more of the style we were looking for however I couldn't get over how small the kitchen was and didn't see putting another $15000 in renos being worth it. I also think that the fact that we have only begun our search is holding me back from wanting to settle.
So the search continues for our perfect home even though there is a part of me that's hoping the proposal comes first....tick tock tick tock :P
