New Home

Dave and I hoped that this would be the year we would invest in our first home! Little did we think that we would find what we wanted so quickly! We searched the internet for hours, as did our realtor, and we kept coming up with one particular community. After going to see it twice and driving through the neighborhood several times, Dave and I signed some paperwork and begun the house buying experience! The community we picked is a build to order community. That means we get to choose everything that goes in to our new home, from the door knobs, to landscaping, to flooring and window coverings! There is literally an upgrade for every detail of the house! We will be going to a studio on the 17th for an orientation/class on how to choose the upgrades that our right for us! We'll then browse the studio once or twice and make another appointment to officially choose all our features! Prior to that, we will be finalizing the loan. Once these things are complete, the construction will begin! It is a 6-7 month build time, so we are looking at June or July for a closing and move-in date! We can't wait! To give you some idea what the house will look like...it is a 2 story, 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 1 car attached garage home. The downstairs consists of the living room, kitchen and dining area and the 1/2 bath. The upstairs has all the bedrooms including a master with master bath and 2 large closets! The lot we picked is the largest on the block, which is 125 feet from front to back. The back and side yard will be completely fenced in, which will be perfect for Fenway! The community is located right off of 288 in Houston; a couple exits before Pearland (where we are now). There will be a huge, new development called the Water Lights District (kind of like the San Antonio Riverwalk) going up by the end of the year which will be great for our property value! It will only be 2 exits away! We really feel that we made the right decision at the right time and can't wait for everyone to come visit! :)
