1. The short sale with a great floor plan...
It has four bedrooms, three car garage and a nice kitchen with a gas stove. There are some things we would need to fix and update. The neighborhood has nice parts and it's surrounded by agricultural areas. The backyard doesn't have a house behind it but it is west exposure which isn't too pleasant in AZ. At 1950 square feet, this is the smallest of the three homes - with bedrooms a little on the small size. It's also the cheapest.
2. The new build with the great upgrades...
It's brand new with amazing upgrades like 20" tile, granite counters, upgraded cabinets, and brand new stainless steel appliances. It has four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths. Being new, there aren't many projects needed except landscaping in the backyard. There are lots of parks and walking trails in the neighborhood, but there is a single story behind the house's smaller backyard. The north/south exposure is ideal. At 2500 square feet, it's the largest of the homes (including a large master suite and bonus sitting room) But, it's only a two car garage. Michael wants a three.
or 3. The older house with a great backyard...
It is an older house that is in a neighborhood that is surrounded by retail shopping areas. The house was sold several months ago at an auction and has been upgraded so it can be "flipped". Upgrades include black granite counter tops and brand new paint/carpet throughout, but there are a lot of projects still. We would want to replace the master shower and paint the kitchen cabinets- (I think white would look awesome.) The backyard is small but has "view" fencing and backs right up to a very large park.
Which one will they choose?
I personally like the 2nd (nice hallways and kitchen) one or the 3rd one (nice kitchen again and beautiful yard! Can't wait to hear the decision! Thanks for the pictures!

ReplyDeleteJennifer I love you! It sounds just like the show.... Um I'm jealous that you get to live in any of them. Well they all have enough bedrooms for me to stay in when I come visit so that is all that matters! I'm excited for you to have your very first home!! You are a grown-up
ReplyDeleteI liked the 3rd one. A word to the wise - today's upgrades are tomorrow's old news. Can't wait to hear which one is the winner. Oh and we love Pheonix so you'll probably have to pretend like you're not home when we bombard you sometime in the future. :)
ReplyDeletehmmm, how about the 2nd one with the third's back yard.
ReplyDeletei think two or three... but if you didn't want to get stuck there i'd pick one... i think you picked... three. or two.
ReplyDeleteno... three. final answer.
So, It's Juliana I stalk your blog and I LOVE this post. I love how you sounded exactly like the show! Bryan just showed me your husbands pictures of the one you chose- congrats!

ReplyDeletesooooo fun buying a house!! Phoenix is the best! I'm excited to see which you choose and how cute you will decorate it. Good luck choosing they are all nice.
