The Hunt continues.....

Autumn and I have been waiting for this for a very long time. The time when everything comes into line and we are able and ready to buy our first home. Of course, finding the right house in our range and being able to purchase it without some scum sucking leaches snatching it away from us, is a different story.

Autumn has been relentlessly searching the Internet to gather a plethora of homes that our realtor (Adrianne) can show us as well as the houses that she was able to find. The first time out scouting was bitter sweet. We thought we had found the one only to realize it was a money pit and in the long run would be worth the effort. The second time we went out looking at houses, we had given Adrianne 13 houses that we had wanted to look at, not necessarily in one day. When we met up with her she informed us that approximately 6 of those houses had accepted offers on them in the last couple of days. Thankfully our top two were still up for sale. To make things short, our second choice became our overwhelming favorite and we made an offer on the house that day. Unaware to us, another party had made an offer that very same day. So while Autumn and I were in Newport, RI Adrianne e-mailed us stating that the seller had made us a counter offer in case the other seller fell through.

So thats where we are in the real estate game, confused and with out house....
