    Just wanted to say thank you for utilizing the term "owner's suite" instead of "master bath/bed", as "master" dates back to slave owner times and is outdated. Really appreciate it!!

    Hi Megan! My husband and I bought our first house last year and it was also a whirlwind for us searching for houses! Everything was sold as soon as it was listed, so we made the jump to buy new construction and purchased a super cute starter house of 1,400 square fet, 3 bedroom/2 bath right across the street from a park! We love it and it'll be perfect for when little ones make their grand appearances. I hope you guys find your dream home soon ♥ Love from California.

    Yes - love house vlogs so much!!! I kinda fell in love with that first house you showed. I absolutely LOVE old character, simply because you just can't find the same in newer homes these days. Also, it’s really fun to dig into the history of the home (find out who used to live there, etc), which newer homes just don’t offer. Back in the day, i truly believe houses were built better and stronger, which is why they’re still standing today. They have good bones (most of the time) and there’s nothing that compares to a remodeled old home that still holds all of its original charm and details. Its so beautiful and unique, not like the stereotypical cookie cutter home. I think some updates can take away the original character of the home, which always hurts a little to see.

    Good luck. Buying a house is stressful but in the end it's all worth. We bought our house two years ago also in a very competitive market. Don't get discouraged. My husband wanted to give up and then a day later we found the house we ended up with.

    It really amazes me that seattle area has such a hot market all the time. Im currently saving for a house right now. Im hoping by the time we are ready, it won't cost us an arm and leg. Its amazing how much houses are selling for, if you want to live in a certain area. Positive thoughts and prayers for you! 🙏

    my European ass when you said it was a very old house and then you said 1906 xD
    I'm really excited for your journey with moving into your own house and I can't wait to see you make your house your own, because you have such a beautiful style. I'm so happy for your little family that you are going to get a house soon. If the housing market is anything similar to here, it will likely take a couple of offers but I'm 100% sure that you will find your perfect house and make it into your dream house

    I loved this kind of video style - please make more (but not too many more because that would mean you got an offer accepted :) ) The housing market in Maine is crazy too. It seems like everyone is moving out of the big cities to more rural places now that remote work is a possibility for more people. I am so shocked that homes are going for 50-100k over asking price?! That is nuts! Praying you can get into your dream home very soon!!

    We are going through the same quandary with low inventory and a sellers market here in SoCal. Trying to get into a 55+ community to be closer to grandkids. It’s insane. Plus, everyone beats us out with all cash offers.

    You’ll get something! I know the feeling though. I live in Vancouver and the market here is absolutely insane. The average price per square foot is around $990-$1500 depending on the area! We’re trying to save up for a down payment but we’re definitely priced out of the city and having to look into the neighbouring ones like Langley. Which is alright but will certainly be a commute if we go back to working in the office.

    • @chelle.a.manga.
      @chelle.a.manga. Před 3 lety

      @@MeganAcuna I'd say just do what you can and don't overextend yourself. It took us 4 months to find a place (while I was in my first and second trimesters). We did a lot of visiting early when people were at work and tried to put in quick offers that same day. We had to do some credit fixing along the way and had a lender that really fought for us. We tried lowering our budget so we could go in higher at the inflated market rate but that never worked.
      We had so many rejected offers before we got one accepted. We put that one in ASAP with a quick close and the sellers were super motivated.
      My biggest advice in these types of markets is patience and going in early with your best offer.
