Home is where...you keep your junk.

House Count: 26

#23: We liked the set up, it’s a new construction home that was completely finished and the bonus was that there weren’t any specials on it because they neighborhood was already established. Centralized locations, 4 bedrooms, 3 bath, open floorplan and 2 family areas. The only problem with this house was the yard, or lack thereof. Because of the location of the house, there is a large retaining wall that takes up a majority of the yard and creates a natural divide. There is a swell created for the water/drainage but we wouldn’t really have a great yard to garden, play in, or take care of.

#24: This house we called the jade house, it’s even new construction than the one before, the guys were still working on it in terms of texture just went up on the walls. The basement won’t be finished, but there are three bed, 2 bath with open floor plan, three stall garage, and a place for the camper. Matt’s not wild about the location and there’s a bunch of specials on it right now, and I’m thinking the neighborhood is a bit crowded. We’d also be responsible for our own landscaping, which is scary for a girl that once told a realtor, the smaller the yard, the better.

#25: 1970’s home that had been taken care of and was surprisingly big. It didn’t have central air, yard wasn’t completely fenced, and the street is what was a turnoff, it’s on a busy street in a neighborhood where there is a lot of renters and twin homes.

#26: I didn’t know what to expect with this house as it didn’t have any pictures online. It’s on the south side, it has three bedrooms, three baths, an open floor plan, 2 stall garage, and a huge yard with a peaceful view. There are some condo’s around us, but for the most part the neighborhood is quiet. The house looks at the river from afar and there isn’t a basement. I thought this was great because Basements collect water and junk and being so close to the river, we know we’d collect water. But then after Matt and I both admitted that we liked this house with a walkin closet, a master bath, a place for the camper, where do we put our junk? We’ve been collecting for some time now together and as much as I try when I move, I still have a few piles of it. Matt did present a plan that would work for us, but it still makes me wonder. We love the house and the location, just need one more storage room for junk.

And to think….the last house had too many closets. Price range is still an issue as we are getting a bit higher than we'd like but are just lacking options in the community. But our overall outlook is more calculating.

MJR: If we got this one, I could have a DRIVING RANGE!!!
ALM: That is not a reason to like or buy a house.
