We want a house

We want a house. We have enjoyed living in our apartment for the last 10 months, but it is time to get our own place. We would like to stay in the area...it is only about a 35 minute drive or less for both of us to get to work. So, we found the house in this picture. It is in Richlandtown...the same town we live in now. It is actually only about a 2 minute drive to get there. It is a foreclosure, but is in pretty decent shape. It has a couple of issues, but none that couldn't be fixed. 3 bedrooms...2 1/2 baths. A nice back patio, a shed...great front yard...partially fenced in back yard. It also has hardwood floors in the dining room and kitchen.
Here is a link to the listing....
So, we want to offer a low price and see how that goes....but we need a down payment of 3.5%. Anyone want to help with that??? About $6000!!!! Hey....it's for a good cause! :)
This house is close enough that Whitney would not have to change preschool...which is great! She has been having some transition issues...saying how she misses different friends or her old daycare or our old house, swingset, etc... Joe also joined the volunteer fire department recently, so he could still be in town to help out. He actually went out on his first call last night!
So, that is how we are...how are you???
