House Hunt

This weekend we went on our second house hunting excursion in Virginia. We think we had more success this time...we've made an offer on a pre- foreclosure in Woodbridge, VA. The owners have accepted our offer without any countering but since its a pre-foreclosure we have to wait to hear if their bank accepts the offer and then work through all the paperwork. It will be 2-3 weeks before we know for certain if we have the house and then a total of 6-8 until we can close.

The house needs some work but it had a few things going for it that we loved...its in a great neighborhood with a club house and swim club (membership and lessons included in the HOA fees!) and the best thing is that the elementary school is in the neighborhood just a few blocks down the street from our house! It has a finished walk out basement with a bathroom (good for guests!) and sits on a really private lot on a short street with just four houses.


Things could change and in a few weeks I may be posting about how we're soon to be homeless...but its looking hopeful
