So my goal when searching for a house is to look at like 50 of them before we decide to buy one. But what if you find one that you really like and it's like your 2nd house you have looked at? Do you buy it? or do you keep looking? What if it was such a good deal you feel like you can't pass up on it? All these questions!!!
I found this really cute house in Herriman and it is a fabulous price for what you get. No I am not going to post which house it is, and YES I am being selfish and don't want anybody else to see it! haha! It's awesome though. Price is great, location is great, it has a 3 car garage. Basement is 90 percent finished. It has a little kid play room that would be so fun for the kids. It has a RV pad just in case we ever get an RV (Which is unlikely) but you never know. It has all new paint, carpet, and is walking distance to a splash pad; which by the way is a definite plus when you have kids! It has a yard and the backyard is fenced. It's east facing. From the looks of it, the neighborhood looks super nice and well kept up. It would be a great first home.
Here are the cons:
*Living room is a little small, but doable. Probably not any smaller than what we have now, but if we wanted to have family over it would be a little cramped.
*Main level is a little claustrophobic to me. I like having longer hall ways, it makes it feel less claustrophobic to me. But I don't think this would be a deal breaker for me.
I do also know that there will most likely always be a house that we will like. Sometimes you just have to be patient. Anyways, I was just wondering what you all would do if you really liked the first house you saw. We will definitely pray about it first and then go from there!
Also, do any of you know anything about Freddie Mac homes? Is it a good idea to buy one of those homes? If any of you have any tips or suggestions please let me know! I would love to hear them!!

We looked for a while on and off, but it was probably the second one we actually walked into that we loved and bought, just had to wait to finish building it. Good luck, if you love it then pray and buy it (if you still feel you should).
I was always told when you walk into the home your supposed to be in you'll know it. That was the case for us. It didn't even meet all that we had wanted but we knew it was where we were supposed to be. Good luck and don't discount God leading you to what's going to be best for your family.
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are both federal mortgage companies owned and operated by the federal government. One concern of late are "early pay-off" penalties. Which you would want to make clear that if that is in the closing contract, you will walk away and not sign. Be sure that you carefully read ALL of the things you sign, so that you don't get stuck. Remember that it was Freddie and Fannie loans that were partly responsible for setting up many young people in houses they couldn't afford. They got them to sign "variable interest" and "no interest for __ years" loans, and as soon as the real interest rates kicked in, they lost their homes.
