We went out with the realtor today to take a second look at the three finalists in our house search. The first house scored high for its great lot and fairly reasonable price. It lost points for a kitchen that needs tile and counter work and a family room that is marginal (that's being kind). The guest rooms are all upstairs.
The second house was the smallest, but very well laid out. It also has a separate 700 Sq Ft guest quarters above the garage and comes with a few nice pieces of furniture. It loses points because it needs painting outside, has only 2 acres of land, and is noisy due to its proximity to a busy ranch road. Finally, it's significantly overpriced.
The third house is closest (by 5 miles) to town and has a partially fenced yard. It's also got a nice master suite and a three car garage with office and workshop. It loses points because the house is positioned close to the neighbor and the floors are a disaster. The family room is a little funky also. It is priced $75,000 to $100,000 less than the other two houses.
We're going to make an offer on the third house. I've got an appointment tomorrow to see about a loan.
