Starting Over.

Here it is in a Nutshell:

We are under contract with the Gingerbread house. The fully renovated house I blogged about that we put an offer in on- we did not get. There were three offers in that night and one came in over the asking price.. so blah to that.

Then we started having major doubts about the Gingerbread house. It is so cute and very charming, with several antique features that we love. But now after seeing so many fully renovated houses on the market, we think we would be making a dumb decision if we stuck with the gingerbread house and then put 20K into it over the next year or two. So, the inspection is at noon today. We already let the inspector know we do not want this house - so I am hoping there will be some big issue with the house and we can walk away with a clean slate.

We looked at houses last night and found a few more possibilities, but I also decided last night that we are not in a hurry to buy. We pay month to month and therefore can actually take the time to wait for the right one to come on the market. Instead of getting so wrapped up in this- we need to take a step back so we don't jump the gun again.

Happy Hump Day!
