I’m obsessed with buying a house. Now that we are for sure moving to Houston and for sure buying our very first house, I just can’t stop looking at all the houses for sale online. I’ve spent the past 3 nights online looking at different areas to live, researching school districts, and comparing building a house vs. newer houses vs. older houses. Every night I tell Derek that I’ve found IT, the PERFECT house for us. But of course, we’re not going to Houston to look for a house for another month, so those probably won’t even be available then. But this is still really fun for me. I’m going to have my very own backyard, I won’t have to walk outside and down two flights of stairs to do the laundry, we will have a normal size refrigerator instead of a hobbit size one, my car will be parked close instead of in a parking lot, and I will have a built in dishwasher that doesn’t leak. Not to mention that we will probably almost triple our square footage, which means maybe a playroom, places for stuff that just clutters right now, a place for guests to sleep, and a good space for scrapbooking. My goal for this week is to officially get us prequalified for a loan. So exciting.

DH and I were thinking of buying a house.. I fell in love with one and tehn we decided to wait.. talk about heartbreak! LOL House hunting is SO MUCH FUN!! It’s the buying part that sucks..
A realtor we talked to said that it’s definitely good to have the preapproval in your hands when you start actually looking at houses.. makes the process go quicker!!
House shopping……. how fun! Good luck & happy hunting!
This is the only redeeming quality for moving! It’s always fun for the woman to house shop and dream. It helps to make up for all of the packing and unpacking.
We live in San Diego and were planning to relocate to Texas last year. Our plans fell through, but I spent WAY too much time on-line looking at houses. I was STUNNED at how much house you can get in Spring, TX for a quarter of the value of our house. Enjoy your first home – it’s so exciting. Good luck and happy shopping!

We are native Houstonians moving to San Diego. I can promise you that you will find a mansion of a house in Houston compared to any other part of the country. It seems that way. Have fun house shopping, I love it.
