Our dream home...

Well, we're in trouble. We've found a house we are IN LOVE WITH and we still have a condo to sell. We are hoping that the third time is the charm with the condo.

Long story short...we found this house the first week of January. It is located about 15 minutes further east of our condo. We had originally thought we'd build, but the house we were looking at was a little out of our comfort zone price wise, so John convinced me to look at the inventory home next to the model. I fell in love and couldn't wait to show John. The people who had the house built added a BUNCH of upgrades (carpeting, flooring, lighting, fireplace, deluxe master bathroom, etc.). When we went out yesterday with our realtor, we asked if they would accept an offer based on the contingent sale of our condo. At first we were told no, but just 30 minutes later they called back and said yes. So, John and our realtor submitted an offer today and we should find out in about 48 hours if they will take our offer.

Now we just need to sell the condo!!!
Here is a picture of the house:
Here is the first floor (the house has the optional fireplace):
Here is the second floor (the house has the deluxe master bathroom):

The house is on realtor. com with actual photos... http://www.realtor.com/search/listingdetail.aspx?ctid=84426&ml=3&mnp=21&mxp=22&bd=5&bth=5&typ=1&sid=74f2cf39913b4117a1cc0c3dd3907d63&lid=1080768123&lsn=2&srcnt=10#Detail

That looks like a wonderful home! I am so jealous because even in the bad market right now a house like that in my town would be 1 to 1.3 MILLION dollars! Thats CA for you!
