After a jabber discussion yesterday, we decided that we would in fact put in an offer on the house. After several comings and goings on the phone, I finally had the vendor accept an offer of $1000 less than the property had been offered on previously.
It was a little more than we wanted to pay, however it is a house that we both fell in love with, and a couple of thousand dollars isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things over the rest of our lives.
As of today, pending financial and Archicentre inspection approval, we will be in 90 days, the proud owners of Number 30, Cotoneaster Way, Langwarrin, 3910, Victoria, Australia
After a few weekends of suburb driving, we've found a house that we both walked into, and thought "This is Home!"
On the weekend, we had a look at a hell of a lot of houses in Langwarrin, which is the suburb we both feel very comfortable about the prospect of living there.
We went to another house on the weekend, that we both really liked, and after driving past about another 30 houses on Sunday, we drove past this house on the way out of the neighbourhood. Katy SMS'd the agent to get some details, which she received yesterday during the day.
I rang Buxton's, who are selling the house we liked around the corner from this house, to try and get to look through it tonight, however the agent was not available.
I rang Cameron, from Network 1 and arranged for us to take a look through the house tonight at 6.00 pm. We got from 484 to the house, which is at 30 Cotoneaster Way, Langwarrin, in 55 minutes, which is how long it can take sometimes from 484 to Bretonneux Square!!!
Anyway, we had quite a look through the house, and both pretty well fell in love with it.
We had dinner at Patterson lakes, where we talked about putting in an offer on the house. We drove back to the house, to see what the street is like at night, and it seems pretty quiet.
When we got back home, we sat in the car, and after we talked about it for a bit, we decided that we would make an offer...
