Looking for a house

Liz wants to buy a house. I wish we could buy one together but she is able to and I am not quite there yet. We have been looking now for a little while mostly at houses in the mid to upper 120's. We find one that looks pretty good on paper. After dealing with two realtors we get to see it. The house is ok but may need a little more work than we want. Than the thing we did not want to happen, happens. He shows us a great house, just listed this week and in great condition. The only thing is it is priced just a bit higher; 154k. Well, now the minds are racing, and we think what else is out there above where we have been looking but below this.

We go to yet another realtor (this one we know a little about) and he sends us one that looks decent on paper then we decide to drive by after a long day of driving by houses. It looks great on the outside and is priced between the others. So last night we got to go see it and it is wonderful. It is the perfect mix for us. It has the right upgrades with tile floor, new appliances, new roof, new hot water heater, and a pool with a great deck and back yard. It is move in ready yet has several places where upgrades are not needed but we could make over the years to truly transform the house into our tastes. The offer has been made and now we start the waiting.
