New House Construction: August-November






























In August Jon and I started looking at buying a house, we found a relator that Jon already knew and she was great. We looked at probably twenty houses before finding the one we decided on. We chose to buy a new construction that had not even been started yet, we looked at the previous house that the builder had done and this one would be the exact same house just in a reverse model. We are excited to get into a new house and not have to worry about doing any updates or repairs.

The house we chose to buy is a 1400 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house on a 1 acre lot. Jon was really wanting a house with a garage, but this house only has a carport so in the summer he will either build a detached garage or convert the carport into a garage. We will have a busy summer with getting that done, plus we will have to do all of the landscaping.

We liked the area that we decided to buy in because it is walking distance to a great elementary school as well as two different lakes. We also like that the lots were bigger than in most of the other areas we looked in. We are really excited to own are own home and look forward to getting all settled in.
