They wouldnt hardly budge from their asking price. I pretty much talked myself out of that one before I even placed an offer. I just can't bring myself to give the same for a 18 year old home as I could for a brand new one.
I went tuesday and talked to the mortgage company about financing for the "new" home in oak grove. The kids are onboard for changing schools, but neither them or Stephanie and I are willing to have them change till school starts again next year. This means I will be struggling to fight school traffic every day to get them to and from school.
There are quite a few changes to come with the new place. The electric, trash, cable, sewer, and internet, and water will pretty much be all different providers (read seperate bills). Currently all these things come on one bill and are all together cheaper than what we are looking at with the new place. On the plus side I have worked out a deal to have an unfinnished 24x30 shop built in back, and we will have an extra bedroom/office and a 1 car garage for storing the operational toys.
