Yet another journal-type place for Darcy to rant, rave, and/or recuperate from the world.

A Possible New Place to Live

Anna, Tim, Kayla, Mom, Dad and I all went to look at townhouses for the four of us "kids" last night after I got off of work. We looked at five townhouses in the Discovery area of Walkersville.

The first one was listed for $105,000, and was pretty crappy. We decided it was a definite "No."

The next one, on the same street as the first, was listed at $115,000, and was refurbished to perfection.

The third was another crappy house. I can't remember the listing price.

The fourth one was a possibility, and the fifth was as well. The fifth was listed for $119,500 or something close to it. I don't remember the listing price for the fourth.

Out of those five, we decided that our first choice was the $115,000 house, then the fourth house, and finally the fifth house.

We decided to pursue the second house, and Anna's real estate agent (the father of the flower girl at her wedding) said he would start by looking at how much comparable houses in the same court had gone for, so that we could make a similar offer to those.

After we get a good idea of the money we'll offer, we need to have the mortgage go through. If it does, we'll then get a formal offer together, and about a month (possibly less, possibly more) after settlement, we'll be able to move in.

I don't remember the exact address of the house we're going after, but it's on Foresight Drive.

  1. So the four of you would be moving out of your dad's house leaving him alone with your mom and Jason. Would you all be applying for the loan/mortgage together? How does that work?
