House Hunting Tip of the Week: Bidding Wars STINK
Not Becoming Emotionally Attached is Harder than you Think
Here we are in March, our last month on our
regular rent rate and six months into the house search, and we are still not
under contract. On Monday a new listing came on the market. From the photos the house seemed wonderful;
adorable front porch, wood floors throughout first floor, neutral paint
throughout, updated counters and sinks in the kitchen, half bath, and master
bath, and BIG rooms.
Late morning on Wednesday we pull into the driveway in front
of the drive under garage. The quaint
neighborhood with charming house after charming house already pulled at my
heart, as well as the short drive into downtown Alpharetta, an area full of
good old fashioned mom & pop stores.
Walking around the path to the front porch I let out a sigh, "ah,
how ideal." The curb appeal was already apparent and with a few flower
boxes at the rails on the front porch along with some color in the flower beds
this house would be a dream.
