House Hunting Day 1

yesterday, Sunday the 12th, we made a list for a realtor to take us to the houses we picked out from the mls website in parker, and castle rock. 3 of the 7 were short sales :/ but to kill time we looked at them anyways, and let me tell you, pictures are deceiving! lol! even to the realtor, one of them we both liked just looking at the pics, well the second we walked in, it wreaked of cigarettes, the carpet was NASTY!, and it was a such a really nice home, huge yard, and its a shame how people don't take care or pride in taking care of their home, and the owners were there too. hahaha we walked in, said thank you and walked out. i didn't want my kids to touch or breathe air from that house! hahaha. onto the next few, matt and i couldn't agree on either of them, we spent 4 hours looking at houses! we didn't like one, there was one Matt really really liked, and i didn't feel like i had a fair chance to really look into it because it was awkward that it was during an open house so the realtor was there, so tonight we are going back to look at it again...and this time i think matt is hoping i really like it, so we can make an offer lol! we shall see.....its in a good neighborhood too. spoke to one of the neighbors, and she said there are tons of kids, and they all play in the street....not sure if i am okay with that....its in Parker, and thats what we like about it, the neighbor said the schools are great! her kids go to the elementary, so i am writing this all down so i can look back at my notes, and really consider it.

we also picked out a few other houses to look at during the week, hopefully we find one soon! it would be nice to look forward to moving into a new long term house! and call it HOME! :)
