Before We Knew.....
So over the course of a month or two, we got Denise to take us to many many homes in the same general price range as the one we thought we might build. We saw big houses, we saw little houses, we saw big lots, we saw little lots, we saw all sorts of homes with all sorts of features all over Cave Creek. And indeed we got so excited about one house, which had a great lot and a good house, that we even made an offer. And a counter-offer. But the deal fell through - the owners were no dummies and they had priced their home well. They ended up with multiple offers and one was better than ours. Since they were looking for a 30 day close and more money AND a decision in under 60 minutes, we had to let the house go. Sad perhaps, but we were also planning to travel to Hawaii the next day and gosh, that trip would have been hellish knowing we had to have a home inspection, appraisal and loan going on while we were across the Pacific.
We returned from Hawaii happy with our decision to let that lovely home go. We had a great time (see right). Watched our friend get married on the beach. Took a helicopter ride. Went ATV-ing. And returned home with a few days to look at homes again.
