I just recieved a call from our realtor....the house Heidi & I fell in love with is gonna be ours...they accepted our offer and the paperwork has started it's probably small compared to all the houses I've seen being posted here. it's 20 years old, 1900 sqft, 4 bedroom, bonus room, 3 full bath, they did that artsy paint throughout the home, our master bedroom is red...never thought that would look good, but it's kick ass. jakeys room has a blue ceiling with clouds, bannas room is all girly with a desk built into the wall...ahhh man I'm so stoked. the backyard was done up nicely with some sick landscasping and a rock waterfall drops into the jacuzzi which drops into the rock pool..it's all pebble tech bottom...I'll take pix soon.

Found a couple pix from the MLS# not too great of pix and it looks smaller then it actually is. Don't mind the blue front...it's the first and only change the house needs.

you cant see the waterfall into the jacuzzi cause it's turned off in the picture, and the jacuzzi is hidden in the pic. the setup is sick but most of all the garage is airconditioned...Looks like I can bug Mike Kim, Tom, Chris, Potter, and all the DCI heads are closer as well.... :tup:

Nah...the only extra first time buyer paperwork that you might have to do is a payment shock letter and that might take you a whole minute or two to write.

Congrats! :tup:

Let the games begin!

Get that inspection done asap so that you have time to ask the current owners to fix any problems and confirm that they were fixed. Since there's a pool you should talk to whoever services it, as the inspector will only do a visual inspection of the pool and pumps, etc. And as for insurance, if the company that carries your auto insurance does homes too, you will get your best price having both policies at one place.

What is the price for that and location? Size of the house, bdrs, bath, lot size? I have only so many days to change my mind ;)

Pretty nice! Kinda looks like my Mom's old house before she did a lot of add-ons. Give us some specs... :tup:

SYNYSTAGLI

07-15-2005, 03:52 PM

The backyard looks all concrete though...I'd want some greenery/grass back there. If thats in SD I'm gonna guess it's in the hight 6's low 7's. I know they are selling houses in the hood *Linda Vista* 1000sqft shacks for half a mil :eek:

audiracer2002

07-15-2005, 03:58 PM

manny, it was only 500k. 3 bedroom, 2 bath. it was just under 1200sq ft i think, can't remember. not huge, but not bad.

The back yard was mostly concrete, but the side yard was full grass. They called it a dog run. It's in a cul-de-sac, so I'm thinking it had one of the bigger lots. I love it and I WANT IT NOW DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL...You should see the excel spreadsheet I made up for our budget. Trust me bro, we did the same thing, and still do it on a day to day basis. Bills aren't really an issue, it's the fluxuating expenditures like gas and fun stuff going on that you'd like to do that change things a bit. :p I would definetly look into you and Heidi carpooling together or finding a vanpool that's available...Big Savings!
