Moment of Truth


This is Sarah posting again. On the right is Eric and I thinking about our dads' input and all the things we saw on our second run-through. On the left is another picture of Eric and I on the stairs of one of the houses.

We had a tough decision ahead of us and to top it off, there is an "open house" sign on the front yard of the (seemingly) best option, "Sarah's Favorite." The open house is going to take place in 2 days. Not good. Mary advised us that that house would probably sell quickly as the asking price is quite reasonable and the house looks and functions great (see our pros and cons list). Eric and I drove home that night discussing everying, and not totally sure what to do.
FYI, here were some conclusions that we came to on the 2nd look :
1. Short Shower House is out. The upstairs is just too cramped, we'd need to move by our 2nd or 3rd kid, plus the dads didn't like the roof, the siding, or the yard.

2. Sarah's Favorite probably doesn't have plumbing or electricity problems. Obviously and engineer's inspection varifies this, but everything we saw looked updated. It's also still beautiful, and the community is great.

3. The Quaint 70s is on the busiest road of the three, definitely needs some roof and siding work, and isn't in much of a community setting.

We realized that we leaned towards Sarah's Favorite (Sarah definitely, Eric barely). We'd love to sit and wait on it, but should the open house sign give us a sense of urgency to act? We all agree that that house will sell quickly...what to do?
