Well, we did it. We put an offer down on a townhouse and it was accepted. It’s a bank-owned foreclosure in Spanish Fork and we LOVE it! We have been looking around online for a while, came up with a list for our realtors to look into and started driving around to tour them. One night we were lined up to see 4 homes. The first was too small/cramped feeling. The second one I had seen online and really didn’t care to see it. The third I was in love with from what I saw and read online. And the fourth looked like it needed a lot of work.
We were right about the 1st and 4th. The 3rd one that I loved so much was much smaller than it looked. The 2nd one was a completely different story though. As soon as we walked it (and then as soon as I found out that upstairs living area was not the only living area..it would have been too small!…) both Steve and I thought “this is the one!” I was shocked that we loved it instantly. But, when things are right, things are right. We really like the area and REALLY REALLY love the house. The next night we saw it again and this time invited Steve’s parents to come with us. They both really liked it as well. Other couples came inside to look while we were there and we were NOT happy that they left shaking their heads ‘yes’ with big smiles on their faces! We wanted this place – they couldn’t have it! 🙂 And they didn’t get it. We did. He he he he
So here are a few pics that I took while we were there for our second look. I also included my own drawn up floor plans (although I did notice I forgot a closet, the stairs on the top floor need to go under the master bath, and the area where the stairs are is a small blank wall … perfect for a bookcase or desk!)
We signed and closed and now we’re waiting for the bank (in Idaho of all places!) to send the ONE page they DIDN’T send with the other paperwork before we can get our keys. Uh! (PS – we’re moving THIS Saturday at 9 am if anyone wants to help! We could use it!)
