On the hunt!

Sean and I have been on the hunt for our first home! We really love the city of Temecula. It's so new and family oriented and only 45-hour away from San Diego so it's still fairly close to all the fun things San Diego has to offer, and it's about an hour-hour 1/2 away from our home town. Sean is up for the commute he will have to San Diego, so everything is working out. We went to look at our first houses last thursday and they were all nice, but they were all foreclosures so some were just in horrible condition. We found one we really liked and put an offer on it...but after coming home and thinking about it, I realized that it wasn't the one. It was very nice, but it was TOO big. It was over 2400 sq feet. It had a huge formal living room, then huge family room, then huge loft upstairs. I became so intimidated by all the space and had no idea what I was going to do with it. We may have grown into it eventually, but I don't see that happening for a while so I just wanted something else. We pulled our offer the next day but it wouldn't have mattered because we found out there were higher offers on the house so we wouldn't have gotten it anyway.  

So this morning we went back to Temecula to look at 2 more houses. The first one I LOVE! It seriously felt like the one. It was 1700 sq feet which I was sooo much more comfortable with. It was in amazing- move in ready condition. So we went to see the next house still, and I fell in love with that one too! Well, when I say "I" I mean Sean and I. He loved both houses too. So we went back to the office to write up offers for both. Well, once there we found out the first one had accepted an offer already :( I was heart broken...but then she saw that there was another house for sale that was the exact same model and cheaper! So we went to look at it really quick and discovered quickly that it's so much cheaper because it needs work...Just needs a real good cleaning of the walls/doors and needs new carpet completely. But it has potential to be so beautiful and just needs a few cosmetic fix's, which for that price is totally worth the work. But, we haven't decided yet if we are willing to do the work yet so no offer yet. Still thinking about it. But the other house we loved has our offer in and we are just waiting to hear their response...hopefully tomorrow!!

I only have one picture and it's of the outside of the second house we saw. It's SO CUTE!!!
