Buying A House

It has been far to long since I have written anything on our blog. However, we were recently approved for a home loan, and put in an offer on this cute little bungalow. Our offer was accepted by the seller, but it is a short sale. In short, we have to wait for his bank to decide if they want to sell it to us at our offer price. Our real estate agent thinks we will get it, so we are keeping our fingers crossed. It is in South Jordan at Daybreak. Daybreak is a master planned community by the point of the mountain that was designed after the neighborhood I grew up in. It has great Traditional, Cape-cod, Bungalow, and Victorian style homes with very little stucco. I don't have anything against stucco, but too much of one thing is never good. The home has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a backyard. The backyards in Daybreak are small because it is a walkable community. This means that there are parks every few blocks and open green space. This brings people out of their homes and gives the community a chance to meet one another. The community boasts two swimming pools, basketball courts, volleyball pits, a temple (The Oquirrh), a dog park, over thirty miles of bike and jog paths, community gardens, community center with a gym, picnic areas, and a lake for fishing and non-motored boats (we can't wait to buy a used canoe). We are very excited for the opportunity, and will keep everyone updated.
