House Hunting

With the current housing market, it is such a great time to buy right now.  Derek and I were originally planning to wait until next Spring to start looking for a house, however, we've seen so many low-priced homes due to foreclosures that we have decided it wouldn't hurt to take a look at what's available in the market right now.  

Most of the really "cheap" homes found in the suburbs are fixer-uppers, so we would have our work cut out for us if we went that route - our first priority is that we definitely want to buy a home in a good school district though.  We recently found one home that is bank owned (aka "fixer-upper") that we are going to check out.  It may be something we want or it may not work out at all - we're not in a rush, we just don't want to pass up a good buy if it comes along.

Please pray for us as we look and try to make a good decision.  We definitely don't want to end up in a money pit, so we're asking God for guidance through this process.  If we don't find a house that works for us right now, we will just wait until the perfect home comes along!
