We looked at only one house… and then Catherine bought it!
The house came on the market at the end of September. She saw the listing, got excited, and called her lender to get pre-approved. But wow, the house went pending immediately.
But the seed had been planted. She loved the idea of owning a home on a good sized piece of land, and being closer to her job in Oregon City. She started having visions of getting chickens — and maybe even a goat.
The house went pending so fast that she never got in to see it. But she did get her loan pre-approval process started.
Fortunately, the stars aligned just right. The day after her lender completed her financing pre-approval, Catherine’s dream house came back on the market. We hustled out to see it within hours. It was competitive. The home received multiple offers again, but Catherine wrote a strong offer and hers was the winner. From there, we moved into the home inspection process and negotiated a brand new roof.
The house sits on almost half an acre with an expansive yard, a kitchen garden, potting shed, space for chickens, covered outdoor patio, and so much more. There’s a big kitchen with huge windows overlooking the back garden. The home has a fireplace and hardwood floors. Admittedly, those floors aren’t in great shape but Catherine has the vision to know they’ll be beautiful once she gets to that project.
Congratulations to Catherine — and good luck with the chickens!
