Our First Open House

Today Clay and I looked at our first house. We're not really ready to start the home search process as we have lots of prep work to do first, but we saw a listing for this manufactured home in Kent and decided to check it out. We want to look at a lot of homes to get a feel for the market and what kind of house we could get for a given price.

Lucky for us our good friend Susan loves to look at houses. She planned to meet us at the home, and by the time we got there she had already taken the tour, had some cider and cookies, and met the neighbors! She also gathered a bunch of information for us while she was at it. Thanks Susan!

The house was pretty cute - don't you love the front windows? It reminded me a lot of my sister Jozi's manufactured home which is really nice.

This one will be gone before we are ready to purchase anything, but we'll keep our eye on it just in case.

It looks like a darling home! How fun. Enjoy the journey to owning your own home...it sounds like that's your plan and I applaud you. Thanks for sharing with us on the blog along the way. :-)

I predict you'll have many more opportunities for attending open houses in the next year or two as foreclosures go up and people sell to get out of their adjustable rate mortgages.

Good for you for looking now. I should go into some open houses to check the rate sheets.
