Finally...A House!

So we finally found our first house! Though we thought it was impossible, we found a great house in Holladay for under $22o,000. We put an offer in last Saturday, it was accepted on Monday and we had an inspection done on Friday. We will close on September 26, though we will not receive keys until September 29. Ironically enough, that is my birthday, so I guess I can say that I got a house as a birthday present. We won't move in until the first weekend in October, since both of us will be in school and have classes at night. The house is a really good deal, considering the location and the great shape it is in. It is an older home, but has been completely updated inside, has a new roof, furnace, kitchen and bath remodel, etc. Compared to what were looking at before (ie shag carpeting, wood paneling, layers of dirt and grime) this house is almost brand new!

Here are the stats:
1300 square feet
.19 lot
3 bedrooms
1 full bath, 1/2 bath off master
Brand new eat in kitchen
Nice living room with fireplace and mountain view
Laundry/mud room
1 car garage with opener
Scary crawlspace (Jason will be the only one going down there)
Full fencing and sprinkler system
Neighbors do not park their cars on the lawn and seem relatively normal
Hopefully not haunted
Property taxes: sure to skyrocket!
Better than your house (yeah, that's right)

I would put up pictures, but I am lazy and don't want to try and find the MLS listing. By the way, if you are looking for a good real estate agent or a house inspector, we stumbled upon two great ones and could give you their information.

But the best part about buying a new house? No, not the fact that we will not be financially bound to Transwest Credit Union for the next 30 years. We will finally get to sleep on a queen sized bed again! Can't wait!

All because two people fell in love.
