House Hunt: Under Contract

Wow! I never thought we would find a house in the first weekend looking, but we did! I was visiting Dave in Austin last weekend and we went out with our realtors to see 7-8 houses in 4 different neighborhoods. The main objective of the day was to get a feel for the various neighborhoods and then narrow the search to look in our favorite ones.

As chance would have it...one of the houses we were supposed to see was already under contract so we picked to see an additional one that was in a neighborhood we'd never heard of and was only on the market 1 day. This turned out to be a wonderful blessing! As soon as we walked into the house we knew it was a house for us, we were just unsure of the neighborhood since we'd never heard of it. We continued to think about the house and on Monday of this week Dave went to visit it again along with 3 others. He continued to say it was the best one and as I did research on the neighborhood and the area we decided it would be a perfect choice for us! After a few more days of "sleeping on it" we put an offer in and it was accepted the next evening (with a few negotiations done by the Realtor). We are so happy!!

We are now under contract and have the inspection scheduled for this coming Wednesday. If all goes as planned we will close on July 29th!
