So our family has begun the pre-early-beginning stages of becoming homeowners. We have been taking long drives thru the country browsing the styles of homes we like and areas. Apparently, we are looking in the wrong places. And apparantly, Mike and I both like 5 bedroom homes with giant yards and lots of windows and porches and enormous kitchens. We found a house on the smaller side (in comparison to the others in the neighborhood), and the price made us both laugh out loud. The homeowner happened to be outside and said it was the cheapest in the neighborhood, lots of kids, good schools, upgrades, yadda, yadda..... I might as well go ahead and say it- they are firm on the $370,000 selling price. Here comes the HAHAHA. The prices on other homes where we grabbed flyers were no less humerous.
Not the kind of price we are looking to spend on our first home. So, for now we will keep browsing just for fun. We want to get some debt paid off and apply for a mortgage by early fall. I pray it all works out for us!
We are not asking for much- I really want a ranch stye house, just one floor with a loft or small bedrooms upstairs. I MUST HAVE lots of windows because I love natural sunlight. Mike just wants a fireplace and garage. Simple huh?
Here is our dream home and I hope it's realistic for us:
