To buy or not to buy.... that is the question

Yes, we are house hunting and it is fun and a little tiring. I know I said we were going to casually look, but we kind of just kept looking and looking and now have seen maybe 30 houses. And this 30 includes EVERY house in our price range in the areas we would consider living in. So pretty much we have exhausted all options.... but one. I think we might have a winner.

Background info: house hunting has been a real struggle for us. 1) we LOVE LOVE LOVE where we live now and know that we will probably never live in another neighborhood as cool as this one 2) to live in this neighborhood- we need a budget of 400K+ (there are million dollar houses in our neighborhood- like a lot of them) 3) Considering point 1 and 2 we have thought about waiting until we could afford here, but then we miss out on the 8K tax credit and interest rates are really good right now and are supposed to go up this year... 4) It might take awhile to afford a 400K+ house 5) There are other cool areas of Denver if we can get over the fact it is not "Washington Park." 6) We have been looking in the surrounding areas and found a 1915 Renovated Farmhouse (that is sooooo cute) that we think is the winner AND it is only a 6-7 minute drive from our house now to there- depending on the lights. 7) This house is the only one we have BOTH agreed on. (I liked one he didn't and he liked one I didn't like)- so this is one that we are equally excited about.

We are putting in an offer tonight and I will keep you posted. More details on this current interest are: 3 bedroom, 2 bath. Fully updated and pretty large considering what we have seen and it is on a pretty big lot. The only downsides are it does not have a garage, so we would build one before next winter and we would need to finish the fence for Tyson.

Buying a house is kinda scary....
