We went to this house twice before seeing the other house, we were set to bid on this house to begin with. We decided to go with the other house last time because we ended up liking it more. This house still has all of the features that we want in a house and it has an added benefit of being less than a mile from where I work and less than 3 miles from where Brandon works. It's also less than 1/4 of a mile from Thaddeus' doctor (we could literally walk to his appointments). The only reason we chose the other one was because it had a couple added features that we liked over this one. We know the neighborhood very well, I've worked in the neighborhood for almost 10 years now, the school district is excellent, and we already know where everything is.

If there is that much demand where you live, send some good housing vibes out here! There's tons of homes just sitting with no prospective buyers. HUGE ((HUGS)) !!

I wouldn't make a decision until you are really sure. You will live in this place everyday for many many years and if you are not truly satisfied then don't buy it. This is a huge investment and possibly the biggest one you will have in your life time. Consider all of the house and all of everything around it. We didn't consider fully the area around us and I wish we would have for if I had then I wouldn't of bought this house in this area and gone to the other side of town for so many reasons. I am so very sorry about your luck. I would hold out until you find a house you totally love. Just because you can't find a house now doesn't mean you have to pick one that doesn't satisfy you just to have one. I see no rush for you. All the best of luck.
