House Hunting

Today Harry and I started out day house hunting with our Realtor. Our first house was up on Agua Dulce, which is a bit further north then Santa Clarita. It's about a 45 minute drive with no traffic from our current house. But the house was huge, custom made, had many levels and so many rooms. It was beautiful on the side and in the middle of no where. There was one other house next door but that was it. From the kitchen it had a beautiful view of the valley below. Everything was fantastic and I would have put an offer in on it right then and there but for one thing. Behind the property were two humongous electrical towers. You could hear the electricity flowing through them. When we first drove up I thought no way.. but then saw the inside and considered it. But then again thought no way as if we ever wanted to re-sale the house that would be a deal breaker and we can't "fix" that problem. So next we went do a house in Granda Hills but it was on a busy street and next to a high school. After that we went to a house in Northridge but the area was rundown and the house was a duplex and needed so much work to make it nice. And finally we did one more house in Northridge and it was nice, but needed quite a bit of work and had a very small backyard.

So it was a bust.. well almost. I know Harry loved the Agua Dulce house and so did I so we are keeping it on our list and will think about it the next few days. After searching for houses we went back to our Realtor's office and put in a back up offer on the Calvin house that we really loved. So far the sale is going through.. but until it is sold we can hold out hope that it will fall through.
