Housing Update

Well, as many of you already know we had to terminate our contract with Pierce Homes on the build of our new house. We've had a lot of trouble getting them motivated to continue with the build and then to seal the deal last week we found out that they are having financial troubles. That explains why our house has remained in slab stage for over a month and a half! We considered terminating the contract and finding a pre-existing home because its a buyers market. Our Realtor confirmed that we should find alternative options to the new build.

So, to make a long story short we viewed several houses within our price range and found one that we love. Its a big house and will meet any "expansion" needs we'll have in the future. This house would be a major upgrade from our last house. It's 2,770 sq ft (old house was 1200.) We made an offer on Friday, the sellers accepted it! The seller was a Private Investigator and he was transferred to South Carolina and needs to sell this house! They've been paying dual mortgages for over 6 months now. Their loss is our gain!

We'll post more pics once we close on the house!

*NOTE* The pictures are from their listing page, so that's all their stuff in the pics.
