Yesterday we met with our realtor to go looking IN houses for sale for the first time. It was really exciting. Our agent had put together a nice list of the homes were were going to look at with their information on them. He drove us around in his Prius which was nice. We didn’t have to put miles on our car or use up our gas.
It was a very fun and pleasant experience. Our agent was very nice and not at all pushy. He gave us just the right amount of space to look around, but still answer questions.
The homes we looked at were a bit depressing though. We looked at 5 that we had previously driven by and ended up only liking 1 of them. It’s very different going inside then just looking in the windows. We realized a lot of problems that we didn’t notice from the windows. One of the major issues for me was the layout of the living room or no bathroom on the main floor. But, HUD updated their listings today and I have found several new houses to look at. The houses are all selling so quickly though!
Still haven’t heard about our preapproval. Keeping our fingers crossed. The mortgage guy said it would probably be a week to a week and a half before we got an answer.
I am a bit disappointed that we have not had more showings. I see all the homes I want to look at selling like hot cakes, but we haven’t had any offers on our home. I am sure the price is good and it’s a very nice home for the money. I think it’s downfall is it has a car port and not a garage. Also that the school levy failed in this city and now there are a lot of problems because of it. We are running out of time. We are going to miss the deadline for the tax credit if we don’t find a buyer soon.
