Could This be it?



We heard back from our Realtor and he says that our buyers have iron-clad financing, so we are starting the closing process. They want to close around the middle of May, but that seems really fast to get all of the paper work and stuff out of the way. We are extremely excited, but trying to reign the excitement in a little bit until the deal is completely wrapped up on both sides. We know that housing is a fickle market sometimes.

Here are some pictures of the house that we are in the process of buying right now. It looks like a nice humble home from the outside, and it needs a little TLC on the inside. Nothing compared to our Kearns home though. I am sure a few flowers and grass, a bit of Johns handyman magic, and some elbow grease will do wonders. It was such a screaming deal we just couldn't pass it up.


























These pictures really don't do the house justice. I was a little concerned about the all of the arches, but in person they just feel right. When we move in (hopefully), I will get better pictures. Overall the house is everything we wanted and we have shamelessly fallen in love with it.


Johns requirements were: A three car garage (check), a big plot of land (1/2 acre--check) an efficient newer construction house (built in 2007--check), Unfinished basement (he needs plenty of work to keep him happy--check)


Cheryl's requirements were: A family friendly neighborhood without a high crime rate or drug dealing neighbors (Kaysville has a low crime rate and we have no neighbors on the culdesac yet--check) A good kitchen (check) 4 bedrooms (check).

This looks like a new house in a new neighborhood. You're likely to get decent neighbors. Hope it all works out for you.
