House

Well I didn't want to announce anything to the world because nothing is for sure of course, but we found a house we like and made an offer on it :) It needs a new paint job, a lawn, the basement finished, and a little beautifying/curb appeal, but we think if we do all that the home will be pretty valuable down the road. The backyard goes out towards a neighborhood park, there's a church across the street, a library a block away, and an elementary school nearby. Not that we have kids or anything, but that's pretty appealing. Here's a link to the listing if you want all the other boring details.

We went low, no surprise there. I don't talk numbers so I'm not going to. Talk to AJ for all that. There is another couple that's made an offer on it, so we have to be a little competitive, but we're not exactly desperate. We don't HAVE to move of course. We just see this as a great opportunity to invest in something good.

It's a 3 bed, 2 bath split-level, with a big 2-car garage. Downstairs it's hooked up for another bathroom/laundry and there's a huge room that we could finish for an additional 2 smaller rooms, one big one, or a big family room. Anyway, the link for the listing has several photos, but here's a few more:
