Looking for new house

Fordman4ever · 05-06-2011, 06:00 PM

The wife and I are now in the market for a new house.

We're ready to get out of base housing and on to bigger and better things. Probably not moving until this summer, unless we find something that we just can't say no to. Praying that God puts us where He wants us. Your prayers would help.

-Thanks

Best of luck Earl!! Glad to hear you're leaving post housing...in my 23+ years, we couldn't bring ourselves to reside in quarters. Always hated the idea of beng told WHEN to cut your grass.

I don't like being told when to cut the grass either, but I take great pride in my house and we won Yard of the Month last summer. Its too much work for me though. no one else takes care of their yard and there are dandelions everywhere. I just can't keep them out of my yard.

Well done on the yard of the month....hope your able to find something soon...I'm with MAC hate being told when to do something.

Good for y'all!

Hope you find a great new place.

Blessings!

Good luck! I can't wait to own my own house someday!

Nice. We are in a rare period of depressed prices and low interest rates. People are going to be kicking themselves in 2-3 years when interest rates are pushing 10%. People forget the interest rates of the 70's and 80's which were in the mid teens.

It's not like gas is 4 bucks a gallon. Geesh.

Fordman4ever · 06-16-2011, 09:08 PM

Found a couple houses that we're going to look at this weekend. I hope that one of them is the right one for us.

I might make up a Yard of the Month sign and put it in my yard and confuse the hell out of the neighbors

Good luck on the house hunting Earl

Bill86 · 06-16-2011, 10:49 PM

Good luck Earl !

That would be awesome. you should do it.

bigdix · 06-17-2011, 08:44 AM

Good luck, Earl. I'm sure you guys will find something great. You're in a unique position with the housing market being what it is as a buyer with a steady income AND a housing allowance. Look forward to seeing the new place. Hopefully I'll be around soon so we can hang out, burn a few, smoke some brisket and catch up. Best of luck, brother

Fordman4ever · 06-23-2011, 06:25 PM

Going to look at houses with our Real estate agent this weekend. We've narrowed the list down to ONLY 13 houses. going to be a long day. hopefully we will find one that suites us pretty well. One good thing about moving is that I can send out Bombs with complete anonymity

Fordman4ever · 06-23-2011, 06:47 PM

This is one of the houses we are looking at. It has 2 back porches, one covered, one uncovered.

there is an open house this weekend and I really want this house just for the back yard. we'll see what the inside looks like though and what the wife thinks about it.
