House part two
So we found two lots. One lot was just a mile away and had a beautiful view. It was on a small, non-boating lake with lots of trees and privacy. It was at the end of the a cul-de-sac and there were only a few houses on the street. The issue we had is that we did not like the builder. The builder just did not have the design elements that we were looking for. You would think that we would have just given up the concept for now and gone back to being content with our current home.
No... That did not happen. We sat up evenings discussing if we should keep looking. Talking ourselves into the process. The housing market was good, not hot like it was, but not totally cold yet. Land was being developed left and right and prices just keep going up. So we kept looking and looking and looking. Finally, we stumbled on another lot and realized that the builder/real estate agent was one we had looked into before (when we were searching for our current home). They had a great lot. It was in a new development in the town just north of us. The lot was huge (.8 acres) for the area, and was perfect for our dogs and our daughter. It too was at the back of a cul-de-sac. The builder had the design elements and experience we were looking for and we started the process of trying to figure out what we wanted to build. Now just to put some perspective on this, we went through the parade of homes in September and it was now early November.
