If all goes well we will become true California residents in about 30 days when we sign our $$$ away on a mortgage! We first saw this house last Monday and put our offer on it last Wednesday. Then there was a counter, a counter and a counter... then we said "we yield". So through the amazing process of online document signing ( I had no idea there was such a thing) we begin the rest of the process. We haven't bought a house in 21 years! The house is on .6 acres which gives us elbow room but not so much that we need to hire a gardner ( that would be me).
The house is in excellent shape and truly appears to be "move in" ready. As long as there are no termites already residing there. Yes, in CA termite inspection is a must! Also landscaped already although I will need to plant more new and exciting plants!
We will be living in Fallbrook which is a beautiful more rural area away from the hustle and bustle. It is known for all it's nurseries, citrus and avocados. We have made some wonderful friends up there and can't wait to pay them back for their hospitality once we move in.

I have to admit that other than missing all our wonderful family and friends back in the Midwest I am loving CA! Of course being "retired" could have a lot to do with it too. Dave is definitely NOT retired. Business is really good which is great for job security.
How very very exciting! Looks awesome!!! Hope all goes well in clinching the deal!
ReplyDeleteDid I mention to you that I really like the place?! :)

ReplyDeleteIt is a very attractive house, and the zoo looks great, too. I also, can't wait to visit. I just have to talk Wayne into retiring too :)
ReplyDeleteMiss you! Marilyn
