congrats.....my wife and I looked at buying a house, but up here in Nova that is a no go.  $275,000 - $389,000 will get you nothing.  I wasn't looking to spend more than $215,000, very different market coming from Louisiana.  Good luck with the hunt.

thats too far of a drive to and from work. the first house is what we are going to bid on this week. they are asking $299,000. we will be making some changes to it to suit our needs and wants. she looked at the lot on sunday out in the great bridge area. its in walking distance from a middle school my kids would be attending.

i found out that on a new construction you cant bid. you have to offer the asking price. so thats what we did and they accepted the offer of $299,000. my wife also asked for hardwood flooring in certain areas and a jetted tub and they said that wouldnt be a problem along with the $5,000 closing cost assistance

thank you all for the congrats. my wife will be taking progress pictures as the house is being built. i will start another thread so you guys can follow along until the .:R is parked in the garage. i talked to my realtor this morning and she said they started with the foundation today. the house should be completed in 6 months. perfect timing because my lease on my apt will expire then as well.

The end result should be similar to this home. however ours will be slightly larger.


1750sq ft. vs 2500sq ft


2 story vs 3 story


Unfortunatley we also will have only 1 garage. It is our starter home so in the future it will only get better.

My wife had to sign a release last week. They wanted to make a more feasible kitchen floorplan. The new plans now have an island with a stove/oven attached

You know my dubs are always up! One of my friends is taking care of it for me while I'm gone. It will be ready for paint when I return.

They installed the front door.



They called my wife yesterday and gave her the option of siding colors and she chose tan. The other options were white and blue.
