It will be sad to leave our Meadow Circle house. Neither Heather or I have any doubts that this was absolutely the right house for us to be in. We all love it here. The location, the house and the ward. As we talked, it felt like it was time to move on. We feel that this is the right time for us to move.
Right after we put the house on the market in November, we had a couple showings a week. We have only had 1 showing at our house since the week of Thanksgiving, but I guess 1 is all it takes. Our current house went under contract about a week ago. We feel like we are getting a great market value without ripping the buyer off. A win-win for both of us.
Once our house was under contract, it became crunch time. We either had to find something new for us, or a place to rent. Last week I think we looked at ~20 houses in 2 days. The last one we looked at, we made an offer on.
We now have that house under contract. There was an existing offer on the house that was contingent upon the buyer selling their house. Since we have our house under contract, we made an offer and the seller has accepted it. The other buyer has a couple more days to drop all contingencies from their offer, but that is unlikely. It looks like we will become the primary offer and get this house.
The house is in Smithfield (~4 miles north of Logan). Across the street is the church, and behind the house across the canal is the elementary school. The house is _HUGE_. We have no idea what we will do with all the space. The home was built in 1991, then they remodeled in 2000. It has 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Assuming all goes well, we will close on both houses on Feb 23. That means we will have to move out of our current house on ~Feb 21, and we hope to do some work on the new house before moving in, so it will probably be Feb 28th before we move in. We are pretty excited.
Here are some pics of the house for all to enjoy....
