Home Sweet Home

We got the house! I can hardly believe it myself, considering we were thinking we were going to have to wait until at least after Thanksgiving to hear back from the bank.  This whole process actually went quite smooth.  I think a lot of it was due to the fact that we were willing to wait if it meant getting a home that we really felt was meant to be our home.  I never would have thought we would put an offer on a short-sale house.  In fact we were warned to NOT get into that because they are so hard complete the sale. 

For awhile there I was wondering if we would also fit into one of those statistics, since we found out that two banks had loans on the home (rarely does a house get approved and sold when two banks are involved).  But....WE GOT THE HOUSE! : )

Needless to say, this has been a VERY exciting week at the Bernard "apartment." 

Introducing our future home....that is if the inspection goes well:
 

Our Home: Salem, OR 97306
2,165 square feet
3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms
Living Room/Family Room/BONUS Room!
$150,000

 

Front Living Room: Vaulted ceilings with cozy fireplace and bay window.



Kitchen: Has a HUGE pantry...needs some TLC, but great size!



Master Bedroom: Walk-In closet, bay window and large room overall.

Master Bathroom: My FAVORITE detail in the master bathroom!

Backyard: Patio and perfect size yard for what we need, and can take care of right now.

Some of our favorite parts that we don't have pictures of yet...
1. Bonus Room: located up a few stairs, right over the garage.  This room is half the size of our apartment :)
2. The fact that there is a separate living and family room.
3. The fact that there are three bedrooms, and a separate full bathroom in the master bedroom.

Needless to say, we are SO thankful and feel so blessed for this opportunity. Awesome week! :)
