House hunting update...

Well, we have been looking for homes now for two months, and in those two months we have changed our criteria somewhat. We still would like to buy close to church, and preferably, we would like to get a home that is all remodeled (homes near church were built in the 60's and 70's), or one that we would be able to afford to remodel. However, we are looking at smaller homes because the prices are more affordable. As our realtor said in February, more homes are on the market now, and Joshua and I have actually seen two homes in the last 1 1/2 weeks that we really like. Unfortunately, in both cases, we were too slow. We should have jumped on the one last Saturday, and we have made a backup offer on it in case it falls out of escrow. The other one, that I really like, went on the market on Wedesday, and it sold yesterday. So, we will make another backup offer. The first one was a really good price in a very desirable neighborhood, and even in a slow market, location is everything. The second one did sell very fast for a slow market, and my guess is the owners are desperate to move because they even knew we were planning on looking at the house yesterday. One thing that I know for sure is that God is in control, and He has the right house for us. So, the house hunting continues.
