Nope they took it all. Was a condition of sale. There was also a swimming pool that hadn't been touched in years and was a teeming swamp. Another condition of sale was that was fully functional and could be used the day of closing. New liner, pump and filter and it was sparkling when we pulled up with the moving truck.

I do actually have a swamp, btw. It's envelope of usefulness is rather limited, but it looks nice and breeds gnats to pester the sheep, so it's all good. |

Only thing I hate more than house-hunting is moving.
First house we went in with a budget in mind and very quickly pushed that up 25%. World of difference. Could have gone a bit higher (and sorta wish we had) but at the time, that was where the comfort level left us. I got a better job not long after and instead we paid it off in a hurry, which let us save up and have cash in hand for the 2nd home without contingency. Approaching 50% paid off - may be there depending on the market, but my guess is we're not quite there. Still owe over 2x what we bought/sold the first house for. Whee? Or something. The windfall house is a rarity these days. |

Keep only ONE list (made jointly by you and your SO). NEVER put a house on the list you cannot afford ...... because, they will just make the houses you can afford look bad. Limit your list to only three houses at any one point in time...... and lifeboat list those three. When/if you find a better house (than any of those three, add it to your list .... but toss one of the others away. If a house on your list becomes unavailable, toss it off the list. It's important to limit the list to three, because, the more houses you look at and the more likes/dislikes you find in those houses ....... unless you limit the list to three houses ...... the total number of variables becomes overwhelming. END OF TODAYS LESSON humfrz |

Also, remember, you will (hopefully) have a home inspection to check out the physical condition of the property. So, don't get hung up just because a "light doesn't work". humfrz |

Currently just making a lists of houses to see. Each house we see, we score em in different categories w note to put some info for a reminder. Keep 3 houses which had high scores & toss the other houses. From there, see more houses & keep/update the top 3. When we both agree on the house, we gonna go into next step... what's my current plan. I've found a place that has a 2 bed 1 bath 4 car garage within the price range. Car garage is a bigger than the house! lol I think, I've found my dream house. I think my fiancé won't agree w it though lmao |

In addition, always ask for and carefully read, the "form 17" or sellers disclosure (assuming they have them in your area). The seller is obligated to disclose any structural defects that they are aware of concerning the house. Always follow the advice of your buyers agent (Realtor) who knows the local regulations. I hope this helps. humfrz |
