We are so excited to have put an offer on a house in Goodyear, Arizona, and we now have a contract on that house. It is a 4 bedroom, 2 bath single story home with an open floor plan that we love! It has just under 2,000 square feet which is bigger than what we were looking for. The neighborhood has a pool and spa - there is also a local, brand new YMCA 2 miles down the road that we plan on joining. We are getting a great deal on the home because it is a short sale (preforeclosure). They are selling it for literally half of what they paid for the house just 2 years ago. It is about 25 minutes from my work, and there are several schools nearby where David will be able to choose from to attend.
Please pray for us in this process. This is first time for both of us, so there is lots that we don't know. We aren't sure when we will close yet but it will likely be sometime in November. We are also thankful that we are getting an incredibly low interest rate for our mortgage. We are going to put 5% cash down on a conventional 15 year loan - we hope to pay extra on our mortgage and get the house paid for as soon as we can. How cool would it be to own our own home 10 years from now (this is our goal). We will keep you posted on any news that we get.
