WE FOUND IT.
We finally found a house that both my FI and I love. It''s just about perfect. It''s in a fantastic neighborhood, is a good size, well-priced, and in a great school district. As soon as I saw that they''d dropped the price 50k, I told FI that I had found our "new future home"
It''s not the prettiest house. It was built in 1978, so the decor is...lacking. But everything has been so well-maintained that it''s move-in ready right now. And we can tear down the wallpaper, paint the walls, replace the linoleum, etc. as we get to it. The layout is just what we were looking for - single-story, nice-sized bedrooms, and the kitchen, dining room, and family room all open to one another.
And to top it off, there''s a beautifully landscaped koi pond in the backyard, a gazebo, a lemon tree, an orange tree, and a shed (all hooked up for electrical) that would make a great studio.
AND, it''s just down the street from the house we''re renting! We''d barely need a van!
We''re putting in an offer today. It''s short-sale, so I''m not sure when we''ll be hearing back from them, but wish us luck! Stepson-to-be is stoked since he likes the neighborhood we''re in, and he would still be within a 2-minute walk of his best friend. Oh, and because of the koi pond, of course. Exciting!
