We’ve done it – after years of searching and looking at properties and homes we’ve finally found a property that we love and are extremely excited to have had our offer accepted!

The land is 5.09 acres located in an unincorporated area of Redmond just north of Redmond Way.  It’s located in the back of an established neighborhood where the street is occupied by other 5 acre lots with new homes built within the past few years.  These homes are gorgeous too – large, very well done, even the horse barn located on one of the neighbor’s properties is nicer than most homes we’ve seen!  Since it’s at the back of a neighborhood the street is quite – perfectly safe for the boys to ride their bikes up and down.  As you can see – I fell in love!

Joel and I drove by and looked at the property a few months back in December, but weren’t 100% committed to it since it was bank owned and the listing wording seemed a bit intimidating talking about reviewing multiple offers on certain dates, etc.  In my mind I basically wrote this one off as it seemed that it needed an all cash buyer to win the bidding war.  I watched the property change from Active to Pending within a matter of days.  I knew I had to move on, but in the back of my head, I kept thinking about the property.

Then as my luck would have it, on April 18^th land changed status from Pending back to Active.

Joel and I immediately threw the kiddos into the car and drove to check out the property again.  There it was – the perfect little street and property to build our dream home.  This time, we had to act on it.  April 19^th we emailed our agent, Lance Woodruff from Windermere Real Estate, letting him know we were serious about this one.
