So after a long weekend of waiting, we found out at 10:30 Monday morning that we did not get the house. We spent Monday afternoon looking at more houses. We then decided to put an offer in on Tuesday on a house we looked at last week and again on Monday. The house was built in 1980 (around the same time as the other house) and is in a really nice location. It is tucked in around all the schools we want, daycare and city pool. There is even a little playground just a few blocks away.
That being said, the house is nice, but needs some work. Things like carpet, getting rid of awful wallpaper and a not so big kitchen. I hate all wallpaper because of the work it entails. I have never taken wallpaper down before and am not looking forward to it. However, it definitely has to go. There is plaid wallpaper on the family room and watermelons in the kitchen.
On the bright side though, we have a signed offer and a house to move to. The next step in the home inspection to make sure there is nothing structurally wrong that needs to be fixed.
