We bought a brand new house!!!! Yes, we managed that in the California real estate market haha. Not a forclosure with a ton of issues, but a new just built house! It is just gorgeous let me tell you it is a 4 bedroom aprx. 1700 sq feet, and has granite kitchen counters, all stainless steel aplliances, which I am beyond excited for , and maple cabinents throughout the house. The carpet has an 8 inch pad underneath so our kids can fall all over the place! Its a 3 car garage just simply lovely! I never imagined we would be able to afford a house like this before I am a nurse and making the big bucks. This is our dream and it seems to be comin together. Of course everything with escrow needs to go smooth but thats with all houses and if god wants this for our family he will make it happen. The house behind us that were sold about a year ago that are comparable to ours were sold for 450 to 500k.Although that is California for you waayyyy overpriced and the cost of living is nuts. Living tha "California" life doesn't come cheap I iwll tell ya! It seems though we have found a match our mortgage is just gunna be a bit over our rent. The one downside is it its kinda far from everybody its about 50 minutes from my mom and dad and a bit over an hour for my inlaws. My husband will have about a 35 minute commute to work as will I with school the town we are moving to is tiny. The population is 10,000. It is a very safe place though whith small town country charm so its a place to raise kids. The subdivision we are going to live in is super nice and has a really nice park which is really all you need with kids! So pray it all goes well, and we should be moving in about 30 days or so!!! Im so excited I cant wait to decorate the kids rooms, and have a huge garage sell before we leave sell some old stuff and make way for some new stuff!

Oh how exciting! It was our dream to go to Cali and buy a house but there just aren't any jobs for my hubby there. Who knows... maybe one of these days. Your house just sounds lovely. You'll have to post some pictures. What small town is it? You don't have to say on here if you don't want to. :)
Congratulations!
Thanks!!! I will post the pics I have some but for some reason my camera wants to upload all my pics on my camera so i gotta have my husband fix it! Cali is so hard to live in so if you are not already established its even harder but i love it here and its worth it. The town is called Newman its so small Im used to big towns we currently live in a small town but Modesto is like 8 minutes away and its huge so it will be a bit of an adjustment to being a small commute from a city.
