We have been needing a larger house for some time. We even attempted to sell our house a couple years ago with no success. In April 2 houses on our street sold incredibly fast. We started to interview agents. We found a fixer upper near Gabriel's school and inquired about it. It was under contract already, but that helped us find our awesome agent, Sarah.
She helped us get our house ready and marketed correctly. Needless to say, it was under contract in a day. Now we needed to find our new house in a week! At this time houses are selling for above list price, before going "live" and very little inventory in St. Louis County. After looking at a couple, we realized we needed do commit to crossing the dreaded bridge to find what we want in our range that is move in ready.
Crossing the bridge opened up a whole new world to us. Houses were bigger, there were more to look at and most importantly, move in ready. We spent a Wednesday looking with Sarah and found "the one." We put an offer in after viewing and waited on pins and needles till 9pm to find out if they accepted our offer.
So, as much as we really didn't want to come over here, we did. We got a deal on our house. The inspections showed no real issues. All boys will have their own rooms! We still have a lot of painting to do, but there is space, and even more space when we finish the basement.
Overall, we could not be happier with our choice and even the boys love their new house.
