Still working on interviewing people to rent our house. We another couple coming tomorrow. We hope to have the paperwork done and a security deposit and lease signed in the next 2 weeks. Hope is the key word here.
In the meantime we found one house that we LOVED LOVED LOVED. It was in a very nice development. It was huge, 2200 sq feet above ground. Had a decent yard. All hardwood floors in the whole house except the kitchen and baths which was also a major factor for me since I hate wall to wall carpeting. 2 car garage. We made an offer on it right away but come to find out it went pending while we were there looking at it. It was a bank owned property. So disappointed about that one. It was a beautiful house.
Today we looked at 5 more houses and made an offer on one. Not as perfect as the first house. Smaller at 1800 sq feet. This one was a short sale and the owner rejected our offer.
So we keep at it. We have plenty of time and aren't in a rush as we don't hope to move till May or June but the whole house buying process can be frustrating to say the least.

Where are you going to live once the house is rented? Kim
That perfect house may have gone for more than the asking price. Which is not uncommon with either short sales or foreclosures. You get the paper every day, right? You should keep an eye out for the notice that it has sold. I wonder what it sold for.
Hope we can visit you in a new place this summer!
BTW I got so jealous when I saw your pregnancy ticker and it said only 38 more days! I'm at 98 more days--wanna switch?
