I know I broke the news a few weeks
ago about Ryan and I's decision to build. It's going to be a fun, crazy,
rediculous ride, but I think both of us are looking at this as a positive.
The housing market in SO insane right
now where we live. There is just no other way to explain it. Every
day houses are put on the market and sold within a few days. Many times,
the house is not listed for sale, because it's already been picked up via
word of month. YES, it true and it's happening!!!! Also,
the homes that are previously owned, are now outdated with all of the new
builds in the area and selling for the same price. It's actually cheaper
to BUILD than it is to BUY.
SO, we've decided to go on this crazy
adventure and build our dream house. Or at least our starter dream
house. For the next 5 months, I'll be posting about our building
progress, our design style and of course how it all comes together.
Moving to Texas was about narrowing
down our decisions. We had about 10 cities where our family could grow
and we narrowed it down to one. From there we had to find a "side of
town" we enjoyed or thought would be prosperous. We then narrowed
our decision down to neighborhood[s] and eventually the model of home we
liked. SO many factors go into building a home. With this home in
particular there were 9 options to the look, 5 for the floor plan and an
unlimited number of options.
Below is the house we have decided to
build. All brick, 2 story home with 4 bedrooms, dining, office, butler's
pantry, game, and media room.
