Siren Song

So The new obsession I posted about a couple of days ago turned out to be not the one. It was a great house, but listed at 400k, was a little our of our range. The listing agent pretty much told us it would be a complete waste of time to write an offer for less than asking, because they had 13 other offers on the table already. *sigh* goodbye pretty, super convenient house. hello more window shopping.

We've been out looking at tonnes of houses the past few days. We even have an offer in on a huge one, that we're both secretly hoping we don't get. (shh! don't tell!)
Last night and this afternoon brought us back to Riverpark.

Ahhh, Riverpark. Why do you have to be so tempting? It's like a siren call. The other houses in the area are great... but... they're not riverpark. which is partly what's so great about them, and partly what's holding us back in finding the perfect house.

I'm partly happy to announce we've come to a decision tho. We want Riverpark! Previously we'd been flip-flopping back and forth between two floor plans, and couldn't decide. Today, another got thrown into the mix, but after a lot of soul searching and debate (but no arguing! yay us!) we've decided on a plan.

Problem is it is currently sold out. Boo. If we had come to this decision 2 weeks ago, or even last week, we probably could have moved in next month, AND saved a tonne of money. (this is where the new floor plan enters. plan 6 is available right now, with some nice...incentives... but I'm not totally in love with the plan. Jason wants to get it, because it's a good deal... but what good is a good deal if it's not "home"?)

So I guess we will wait. and keep browsing a little...

Hopefully within the next 6 months I will be posting about my brand new house...
