Chris and I are in Michigan. We flew to Chicago on Monday and stayed over night with a friend of mine before driving the three hours to Grand Rapids, MI the next morning. Things happened quicly once we arrived starting with an appointment with our lender (for which we were 15 min late b/c we didn't realize that GR is an hour later than Chicago!). When we were done signing about a million papers, we were off to look at houses and saw six the first day.
We liked a couple on Tuesday but Wednesday afternoon we saw three great houses.
(in house hunter's style, HGTV)
1. a 1940's super charming house with wood floors, a huge walk-in closet, next to the Great River and an amazing park, but only had 1 &1/2 baths and a 1 car garage
2. A newer home with a great layout, big kitchen, and everything we were looking for but had the smallest backyard and no deck and was next to a borderline neighborhood.
3. An older home that was completely renovated and had a great yard w/deck in a fantastic neighborhood but was priced 10,000 more than the others
So what did we pick? Well, we had one in mind but wanted to sleep on it. On our way home thought, our realtor called and said that there were two other offers in and if we really wanted it we had better submit ours that night!!!
With no time to sleep on it or even discuss it over dinner, we decided to go for it! We put an offer on house #2 and it was accepted!
We are so happy and can't wait to move into our new home!
