Yay! Sounds nice.

One question -- what do you mean by "a walk out"??

toasteronfire March 6 2009, 22:39:02 UTC

Most homes in the Midwest have a basement (which was weird for me coming from Phoenix, no basements there). A walk out means that the basement is only "underground" in the front half of the house so it can have a door out to the backyard in the back half. Basements that are not a walk out are mostly underground all the way around and only have windows, no door to the outside. I think walk outs are much better!

How did you research the neighborhood? I know you're supposed to do that sort of thing, but I don't know how...

I went to various realtor websites (like edinareality.com) and browsed their recently sold houses to see what homes in this neighborhood have sold for. Also, we can browse out county govt. website to see what people were paying for property tax and their estimated home value. We want to make sure we aren't buying the most expensive house in the neighborhood (or the least expensive either!).

I've certainly lost some sanity! ^_^ It would be so nice if it was all over!
