House Hunting!! ...(or haunting if we're referring to a specific house)

So we finally got to look at some houses the "normal" way...as in the lady with the secret codes drives around and shows us the insides of all the homes mommy and daddy peeked into the weekend before...They really narrowed their favorites down to one that refuses to take their loan and a short sale (though the house is really big so I don't know what the heck that means) which means mom and dad are thinking it's not God's timing just yet. Here are some of the pics:

The agent lady says this is a super great deal and cute house in a perfect neighborhood in downtown Yes-in-Deed-o?? (quiet, no traffic, plenty of nice houses for us to TP later) but mom and dad aren't sure if it's "the one"

The house right next door is for sale also! Okay...so look past the creepiness and peeling paint...It was built in 1918 and mom loves how it looks, but hates the smell from the 26 cats who were living there! ewww!


Dad really doesn't like this house but mama LOVES it! It's just a couple blocks away from the last houses, and also in a quiet neighborhood. It was built in 1914? and mom says is "soo cute," maybe she can convince dad...

This house is 2 down from the last "soo cute" house, but mom and dad really don't like it very much...


This 1909 Victorian is right next to the freeway in Oceanside...but oooh it's sooo awesome!! This is mom and dad's favorite, but the mean lender people just wont let us buy it! Poopers!

This cute cottage built in 1942 is in the Vista countryside..well it's more like the hills of Vista. Anyhoo it's suuuper adorable but mom says maybe it's not going to happen because it's a short sale (like I said before, doesn't it look tall to you?! dunno.)

Enough for now..we'll let you know if Ma and Pa find anything! Jakers and Drewski

Hi,
really enjoyed "housing shopping" with you-the right house will come your way-as you well know, there is a reason for everything.
Love, Mom/Stephanie

Jacob & Andrew,

Please, please don't let your mommy and daddy buy the cat house! You will never, ever, ever get the cat stink out! We got a short sale - it just means that they're selling the house short of what they owe for it and the bank's letting them. Go to realtytrac.com and log in under my email (emjrsaw6@charter.net) and I'll email you the password to see what you find in your area. I have a useless membership that goes until October since we already found our home. Tell your mommy and daddy we're at 808 Brahma Street now. Still in Paso Robles, of course! When you have time, will you please set up a blogspot for me and maintain it, too? You guys seem to do such a great job!
Maria
