We have been pre-approved for our new home purchase for up to $460,000 (not that we will use that much).
I stated a couple of month's ago that we were considering moving...actually I wanted to move, but hubby was resisting it. Our daughter, SIL AND grandbaby had moved in February about 30 miles away.
I miss the grandbaby so much that I decided it was time for us to move too. Hubby wasn't so enthused, however, because we both currently live VERY close to our jobs and we would be added a couple of hours to our commute each day.
Another reason I wanted to move is that we have a very nice, albeit modest home in Burbank, California. This area is WAY over inflated in property values. We can basically sell our house and buy A BRAND NEW DREAM HOUSE with the same money.
Anyway...we have been spending the past couple of months checking out existing homes and models and realized that we could buy a new house for the same money as an existing one.
The "tract" we decided on will be opening a new phase in a couple of weeks and those on the "priority buyers" list will have first dibs when these homes are released for sale. By pre-qualifying, that puts us on the list!
The homes in this phase won't be finished until march/april of next year...which is a good thing. That will give us a while to clean out all the cr@p we have accumulated over the years.
Our new house will be approximately 3,000 square feet!!! Hubby and I will have a master suite with a "sitting room" as part of it. Let me tell you...this is my dream house!
I am so excited...hubby is actually getting excited too because he will have a huge kitchen with island.
God has really blessed us!
