I have been busy finishing a project and reading, and camping, and going to a lovely wedding and working and working out. So basically it been a great summer so far. I am planning on posting a few blog posts today to get y'all caught up.
I guess one of the biggest things that Mike and I have been up to this summer is trying to buy a house. We have our hearts set on Langdon and it has been a disappointing journey to say the least. We found a house that we loved. Made a offer, the owners countered, we accepted that price...BUT before they met with their Realtor to sign the paper work the next morning they changed their minds...said they needed more money...we said that we weren't playing those games and walked away. THEN last Thursday Mike and I went to look at another house, we really liked it, it was well kept...more like immaculate...and we were ready to make an offer, when my Realtor called to ask some questions he was told that there was already and offer on the property...an accepted one. We were so mad and confused, why would they let us see it if they already had an accepted offer..shady hey! So we are again, back to square one, there isn't anything in Langdon that we like right now so its a waiting game. We even tried looking at some Calgary properties online, and they were lovely, but are hearts are in Langdon...so we wait.
If you guys could send out well wishes and prayers for us to find the right home we would be very grateful...we are both getting discouraged and need all the help we can get.
Just an update to this one...we are now in the second house that we loved...the one with the offer already, it apparently fell through, so things worked out (and this gave us bargaining power!!!). Thanks for the prayers and well wishes, as always it worked out, and we are officially living in Langdon today!

No updates yet on your house hunting? Well, allow me to give you some tips on finding the perfect home, in case you haven’t found one yet: Identifying your housing needs and finding a reputable mortgage company, which would assist you from day one on your house hunting. Determine your budget, and then get pre-approved for a loan. It makes no sense to put the house-hunting process before the pre-approval. Keep us posted, so I can share more tips with you!

It’s great that you were able to find a new home in the area you wanted. It’s good that you and your realtor were able to work things out with the second property, plus you were able to bargain for the rate as well!

You’re so lucky that you finally found the house that suited you and your family’s preferences perfectly. Langdon is a wonderful place! Plus, you were able to bargain on the price too, it seems like you were meant to own it!
