Home Owners!

Sir Luke and I have known what home we wanted for a while now. The foreclosure crisis, while super crappy for a majority, is making it possible for us to get into a home. That and a lot of help from some VERY generous family.

Last week was one of the most grueling and trying I’ve ever had. I don’t think I’ve ever been more stressed out in my life. We had a deadline of Friday and weren’t sure that we would get our loan fully approved by then. It’s different for us because we’re purchasing a brand new home. What we found was that the area we wanted to live in had the same pricing for foreclosed homes that would need a lot of work and have less space and amenities as this brand new one in an up and coming community in Henderson.

The community is called Inspirada and it’s a ten year master plan community in it’s second year. There is no guarantee it will be completed but as of now we are two blocks from a park and two pools. Amazing. Last year our stake was split to make room for the Inspirada wards. So if that isn’t telling I don’t know what is. It’s going to continue to grow, which we hope will increase the value of the home over time.

OK, enough talk you want to see what it will be like. Due to the fact that it doesn’t exist just yet (we have a tentative finish date of the first week in September) here are some photos and floor plans from the website. You can take a virtual tour of the model here (careful, it may shutdown your browser). Also, the kitchen is just the layout not the actual upgrades, not our style and not in our budget. You can click on the floor plan to view it larger.

Needless to say, we are stoked!
