Buying our first house!!!

For those of you who haven't heard, Brett and I have been house hunting the past few weeks. This past weekend our searching paid off, and we found "the one." It really is true what they say - when you find it, you know! Before we even went out looking at properties I could tell from the pictures and description online that we would want this house!

Brett is doing a test run of the commute today, but we plan to write a contract on the property tonight!!! Our first offer will be a "low ball," but we think they might take it due to the market conditions, plus the house has been on the market since August, and the previous owners have already bought and moved into their next home.

The home is a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhouse in Annandale (just off of Little River Turnpike and Ravensworth Road). The house is definately in "move in" condition but there are also a ton of improvements that we can make in the upcoming years to add value to the property.

If we do get this one, we hope to settle before New Years (can you say tax write off)!?!?!

Crossed fingers, extra prayers, and all the well wishes you can send our way would be much appreciated!
