We walked into our condo after signing papers (and I was a real estate agent, so it's not like I didn't know what I was looking for!), and all kinds of minor things popped out at us that we hadn't noticed before!<BR/><BR/>I do think it's smart to take your time and not "settle" on something for that reason – you'll always find more things you wish were different once you're moved in and settled, and if you're already starting out with a list of things you don't really like, then you may regret the decision.Mandi @ Life Your Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838712480366980618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13538418.post-45786561289602364032008-11-04T12:37:00.000-05:002008-11-04T12:37:00.000-05:00It was hard.

I actually would have done things differently with the experience I have now.<BR/><BR/>I did not have the eye for "things you can fix" vs. "that's just a polished turd".<BR/><BR/>We pretty much let the STYLE of the decor dictate which houses we even considered.

We haven't gone through the process yet, but for us it will be where we plan to live for the rest of our lives. <BR/>If anything, a big yard means possibilities of building an addition later on. <BR/>I am praying all works out well. Cosmetic changes can be made in time (although often later than we'd like).<BR/>Praying for you...Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00601564105166001074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13538418.post-41667452930992564612008-11-03T19:15:00.000-05:002008-11-03T19:15:00.000-05:00Some people say when you find "the one" you'll ins...Some people say when you find "the one" you'll instantly know it. I don't think that was the way for us... but my mind kept going back to it over any thing else that we saw. And remember, buying a house is a huge commitment but it isn't a life-long commitment (not like marriage! :)... you own it for awhile and then if it isn't as big as you wanted, you find another and upsize.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115358795667247609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13538418.post-43567056027632973092008-11-03T19:14:00.000-05:002008-11-03T19:14:00.000-05:00It's so cute!
