Update #2

So right about the day after I posted my last entry, we looked at a few other houses and just weren't really FEELING any of them. Then our realtor, God bless that woman for being so patient with us, told us about a little townhome by the hospital that they had just gotten and hadn't been listed yet. We decided we may as well see it, but Corey had to go to work so I just went over and looked at it by myself.

The unit was apparently used as the model unit, so it has all the nice fancy upgrades (beautiful carpet, granite counter-tops, a built-in recessed TV armoire in the master bedroom, expensive tile) and has also never been lived in. That fact qualifies it as a "new establishment" according to the State of Utah, so we will get an additional $4000 tax credit on top of the federal $8000 first-time home buyer program.. a whopping $12,000 back for us! Amazing..

We just went and looked at it again this morning so Corey could see it, we both felt really good about it, both picture us living there and maybe even having a kid or two there, so we went straight back to the realtor's office and made our offer! Someone told us that when we found "the one", we'd both know it, and they were absolutely right! More updates and hopefully pictures soon!
