This is it.
After 10 years of marriage we thought it was time to settle down?
This looked like a cute home and as the saying goes "third time lucky". This was the third home that we made an offer on and we managed to sneek in while heads were turned and got it! Just like that. No competition, no bidding wars, no fuss. We viewed the place on Saturday, made an offer and got the call on Sunday - OFFER ACCEPTED!
We got a deal - 3 bedroom, 1.25 bathroom in Mapleleaf, sunroom, 7700 sf lot - all for the list price of $360k.
Tha market has been so horrendous that the 1st place we saw was listed at $400k - it sold for $550k!! Glad we didn't waste time making an offer on that one. The next one was listed at $409k, we offered $415k and it sold for $430k, AND it needed a new kitchen and bathroom! The 2nd place we made an offer on was listed at $360 and sold for $410k.
So after our previous housing experiences I think we have done very, very well.
The question I want to ask is; "Why the hell are so many people moving to Seattle?" Don't they know that it rains in Seattle all the time!! Go back to sunny California...
Wow! Congratulations! It's a beauty! I love the yard and the house. I can't wait to see it in person. Congratulations Faith and Joel! Putting down roots!
