New Home

Exciting news - we closed on a house! People say it's a buyer’s market, and although it can be true, navigating all the short sales and foreclosures sure made for an interesting process. The Lord is faithful, and we ended up purchasing what will be a great spot for us.

We discovered a townhouse in a neat area about 10 minutes from Brian's work. It has nice surroundings and is in close proximity to some great parks and shopping areas. This will likely be more of a short-term spot for us (3-5 years, maybe?) but it's a good size for us for now (1800sq ft, 3bed & 2bath), and we got it for such a great price that depending on how life unfolds it could make a terrific long-term rental property as well.

The purchase process was quite an experience. The townhouse was in foreclosure, and we made a full-price offer which they turned down. Then they put the house into auction. We ended up purchasing it through the auction…for less than we had initially offered. Crazy! The Lord is so good.

We closed on Friday and will move-in by the end of May. We're doing a few updates to get it ready (new paint, flooring, etc) and look forward to setting into our new home. Here are two photos that we found online from the original listing, and we'll try to take/post more photos as we move in as well.
