Miracle of miracles

I put in an offer on this place, not expecting anything since that has been the trend, but the accepted my offer yesterday!!! It took a little negotiating, and it is going to be an expensive one for me, but it is actually really nice! Too many exclamation points, sorry. Anyways, it is still up in the air obviously. There are inspections, appraisals, and money to gather. But, it is a very cute little house, and maybe, just maybe, it could be mine.

and it goes on

Well, I fell in love with the place on Mollala avenue, the Victorian. It was adorable. Unfortunately, due to zoning issues, a FHA loan wont fly so I'm back at it again. It was pretty sad.

But I did find another cute house today. It is also pretty adorable, but expensive (for me). It's at the top of my budget. I don't have any pictures since I forgot my camera, but you can look at the link for the listing pictures.

This one was super nice inside. And the garden is sad, but obviously set up by someone who cared. There are some pretty cool plants. Not a reason to buy a house obviously, but the place really was nice. Amusingly, it is right next to my real estate agent's house.

The search goes on

Interesting possibilities

So I'm back looking. I have found a few cute looking options, though not nearly as good of a deal as the Hazel place was. And I haven't been to them yet to see how bad they actually are. Its amazing what sins a picture can cover. Go ahead and click on the links, it should take you to a listing with more pictures.

This one seems adorable, but it is on Molalla Avenue in Oregon City. Its a very busy street which I really don't like. But its a short sale, cheap, and has a huge yard.

This house is small and cute looking, but right next to 205 and on the edge of felony flats. maybe even in the middle, I need to find that out.

These two houses seem adorable, if they aren't falling apart. But they are both in that region east of 205 that seems sort of depressing. I haven't been there in ages though so maybe its not so bad?

This one is on Harold Street
And this on Boise Street This one is interesting. It is actually a condo. 1/4 of a big old Victorian house in Goose Hollow. Super nice inside (based on pictures). Even affordable, except for one thing. The HOA fees are almost equal to the mortgage! It would be kind of fun though.So I am going to look at these hopefully soon. I will let you know how disappointing they are. Ha!

Disappointment

Well, I put an offer in on the Hazel pl house. I got beat out by someone else though. While real estate is moving slowly overall right now, at my price range it is moving very fast. If it is livable at least. I mean, come on, a livable house going for $100,000? Of course it went quick. Oh well
