First Day of House Hunting

We had our first real house hunting day today.  It was fun but we did not find the home for us.  We saw 2 homes listed by real estate agents and 2 homes listed by a for sale by owner.

House 1.
- over priced
- nice bright basement
- big yard
- 4 bedroom/2.75 bath
- weird garage, only 1.5 cars
- obvious water damage in one bathroom
- green carpet in the master bedroom
- house smelled a little Smokey

House 2. 
- well with in our budget
- cute style, older home but completely updated upstairs
- 3 bedroom/ 1.75 bath
- big yard
- one garage
- scary, very scary basement
- very small rooms

House 3. - by owner
- 3 bedroom/ 2 bath
- updated bathrooms
- cute character
- 2 yards
- 2ish car garage, but not sure if we can 2 cars in there
- small kitchen

House 4. - by owner
- 2 bedroom/ 1.5 bath
- Huge 2 car garage plus a shed
- large front porch
- nice size kitchen
- needs some updates
- basement scary but not as bad as House 2

Over all we liked 3 and 4 the best... but we did not love them.  They were in our price range but they were both over priced for there location, according to our real estate agent.  We... or should I say I am a little disappointed we did not find "the one" today since we viewed most of the homes that are currently listed in our price range... we are going to go talk to a builder some time this week and see what we can get for our money building.

On ward...In other news I have found a new website/blog I LOVE. http://ana-white.com/  And have found some things I want to build for our new home.
