Major stress!!! ****BIGGGGG UPDATE*******

So fh and I looked at the cutest little house the other day and we love it. Its only 13 years old and definitely on the small side, but it has a full unfinished basement that we would totlly renovate. The price is right for us and it has a cute little backyard for the pup. I dont think we will find ANYTHING nearly as new or nice for our SUPER low price range in the area we want. Its sachem school district and less than ten mintues from both our parents' houses

Im SOOOO stressed ad nervous about all of this. I SO SO want a house and we have so many ideas as to how to make it our own and fix it up. Its move-in-able now, and we could change things as time goes on.

The thing is, I could see having a baby there, but once it were a few years old, I think we would be cramped and needto move.

Do people stay in their first house? I just hate change I guess so Im freaked out at the thought of having to do this all over again in 5-7 years.

EEEEK!

Advice? I am going back and forth between being so exicted and being sick to my stomach over money.

We are going to bring my dad tomorrow and then we may put in an offer.

Also.. those of you that put in offers.. how much lower did you put in an offer for?


******UPDATE**************

Ok.. so we decided to put in an offer 16k below the asking price... and they countered right away with 10k below the asking price (they already lowered it 10k after putting it on the market)

I think we are going to accept it!!!! My dad said that he can redo the basement with no problem for us and that it is small, but there is potential and its bigger than any apartment that we would get. Plus, fred is a big deciding factor as well.

I know that it may be small on others' standards, but it feels right for us right now, and I think that we are making a good decision.

Im completely FREAKING out, but it will work out.

I will post pictures once we have more definate answers.
