Nathan and I took the two youngest with us to go house hunting the beginning of December. Luckily Nathan's mom took the girls for two days so we didn't have to drag them along. Valerie looked after the older four while we were away. The Ward family was a huge help taking the kids to and from school and other activities.
We found a home we really liked and put an offer on it. We low balled them about $75,000 lower than their asking price but we were pretty confident that it wouldn't apprise for much more than what we offered them. They countered, asking us to meet them about halfway. We agreed but weren't confident that it would appraise for that much. We were right! We asked for $30,000 off the offer we agreed on (total of $63,000 lower than their original asking price). They agreed and about 6 weeks after our trip we officially became house owners!
This is a brand new house. It was built in 2021. The owners have only been in this house for about 9 months...Crazy! I'm wondering if the house was too big for them. It was just a couple and their dog.
Here's our new house:
This was a quick walk through video of the house when we were out house hunting...
Warning: It is really fast and you might get motion sickness watching it...

This will probably be Nathan's mom's room when she is staying with us/guest room.
Entry and living room
Down the little hallway is the 1/2 bath.

The owners changed the flooring once they moved in which I'm a little sad about because now it is tiny tiles with tons of white grout! We had something similar in Florida and it drove me crazy! It was impossible to keep the grout clean.
Master bedroom
Don't you just love that tub?!?
Back out to the Living room.
