Maybe we’ve finally found it?

Last night we looked at 2 more houses. The first was listed for a good price ($180,000), or so we thought until we saw it. It was a 3/2, but on the smaller side with about 1,200 square feet. The outside of the house was pretty nice, but the inside was a wreck, a flea-infested wreck at that! The only thing that house had going for it were the terrazzo floors. I don’t know how fleas even live on terrazzo!

As we were leaving, our realtor suggested we look at another home on the same street. When we pulled up to it, I realized that I had seen the pictures of it online but decided not to look at it because the price was too high. It had been listed for $250,000, but the price had been lowered that day. We fell in love with this place.

House on Catalpa Ln.
Beds: 3
Baths: 2
Sq ft: 1,990
Year Built: 1950
Listing price: $238,500
Additional info: 2-car carport, beautifully landscaped yard, inside laundry room, terrazzo underneath new carpet, original 50s bathrooms, old windows, old kitchen, new AC, clothesline in the back yard!

Out of the houses we’ve looked at, it certainly ranks in the top 3 for me. Anyway, we decided to put in an offer of $220,000. We’ll see what they say. Keep your fingers crossed for us!
