Did I say just how fast things were moving and how it was all becoming a blur. Well last night and this morning my wife had been basically talking non-stop about houses and we realised that no matter what, we'd have to be making compromises. Whether that was on the size of the house, or yard, living spaces, location, inclusions, orientation etc etc.
We both started looking back over the houses we had visited and decided that we wanted to take another look at the second house we'd inspected. We initially ruled out this house as it had large windows facing west and would get pretty hot in summer, other than that, it was a nice house. Of all the others we've seen this was the only house where the compromise wouldn't be in the size of certain aspects of the house or in the layout.
The price is also good and will leave room in our budget for making some changes to try and alleviate any summer heat issues. We'd also need to get a few power outlets installed and a gas connection for the bbq area as once you've moved away from using bottles, you never want to go back and we converted our bbq several years ago.
So, after having lunch at Dad's, we headed out for another look. If anything, it was slightly better than we remembered and the front room and master were already starting to heat up. Everything else is actually really good and the yard size, whilst smaller than I'd like, is bigger than most in our price range.
We left the inspection and are now both really keen on the house. We know that the builder has already dropped the price a couple of time and is very motivated to sell, so we might be able to negotiate a fair price for the house.
