Well, We Found One
That we liked anyway..
The people will have to come down on the price a bit, but we found one we like. The acreage is smaller, but it’s right up against a large state park, and there’s a fire trail right next door.
4 bedrooms, 1 bath, a beautiful screened in porch on the second floor, tons of room for us inside and enough land for us to have a garden and a few small critters. I’m amazed at the size of this house and the price, compared to this POS we’re living in now and the price they wanted for it. They must be out of their flipping minds here in Maryland.
Apparently there is a new program in PA for first time home buyers that somehow works it so the first year of the mortgage is actually less than the mortgage, the second year is a little more, and the third year you start paying your regular mortgage price. So I’m going to check that out as well.
The drive to work would be about the same, but the drive to the Grove is going to be significantly longer. Them’s the breaks I guess, I’ll just have to drive it (and may not be down -every- weekend, we’ll see).
Right now it’s up to whether the people will accept our offer, then we’ll take one step at a time.
The second house we looked at was nice. 2 bedrooms, 1 small bath, beautiful living room and nice kitchen. The property was wooded and fairly private, but you could see neighbors. The only thing I didn’t like was the fact that it was public water and the bedrooms are small.
However my cousin Stephanie is moving back from Georgia soon and will be looking for a house to buy. I think this one would be good for her, and she could get a VA loan instead of an FHA, so more things might slide.
Good vibes on helping us negotiate with the seller are much appreciated
