More changes!

So with all that has been going on with my work outside of the home with teaching barre classes we have decided to sell our house because we need more space. So we put it on the market over a month ago and sold it in three days! 

And we'd been looking for a month before the house was on the market and then ramped up the looking. We went out every weekend and toured open houses and also during the week. We put in one offer and were denied because we were contingent. We put in a second offer and same thing. Then put in a third offer and were best out on price (but were secretly ok with it because we knew the house wouldn't appraise for what it went for), and we put in a 4th offer and were told the owners had a bottom line they couldn't let the house go for below that because of what they owed. So we were discouraged to say the least.

 Kept looking and last week a house in our current neighborhood went on the market. Seemed perfect online (4 bedrooms and a bonus loft, formal dining and living, family room, walk in pantry/utility room, HUGE master walk in closet, 3 full baths and a 1/2 bath, tons of storage, yard that is larger than our current one, and so much more.) What made it even more perfect was that it was right across the street from us! So we went to the open house and loved it. Decided to put in an offer since they had another offer. We offered for them to rent back since we are doing that on our current house and were told that they would love that. Offer was accepted Sunday and we are now I'm escrow! Inspection is tomorrow morning! We are so excited because we will be gaining almost 1000 sq feet in the house and 2000 sq feet in the lot.

 We close mid July and move in either at the end of July or the end of august depending on of they rent back or not. Love that we will stay in our neighborhood, and that we will be moving almost exactly 3 years from when we moved in to our current place! Stay tuned!
