A new house!

Well, lets just say the last week has been one hell of a stressful one. We went in a complete 360 in our ideas about what we are going to do in regards to our housing situation. After attending a recent home buyers seminar it seems that building is the way to go. So, as you can guess, we are actually looking into building a new home now. We have started getting all of our ducks into a nice little row in order for this new idea to get going. We have looked into the area we want, found a house plan that we fell in lover with, went to see our mortgage advisor and got our finances in place. Now, we plan to meet with the real estate guy, purchase our land then start shopping around for a builder to begin on our house. I am sure this process will take forever and we will not be in our house for a year or so but at least we are getting the ball rolling and hopefully be able to secure ourselves a house at today's current market value.

Basically the market is crazy right now and we have decided that we had better get on the roller coaster before it speeds off and leaves us behind. Here is hoping that everything works out. I will be posting more info. as we move along in this process and who knows in 6 months I may be able to start posting pictures of our house being built. For now all I can post is a picture of the house we hope to build.

Well Emery, you never missed anything. We still have no money but we have managed to secure a mortgage and are going to move forward with building a house. I am sure we will need help from parents to make a down payment and stuff but they are willing to help. This is the best way right now to secure ourselves an affordable home.
