So my husband just got a really cool new job with Mid-Atlantic Consulting as a Macintosh Server Consultant. He basically acts as a consultant for various Mac based clients such as the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists (maybe he can get me a job!) and Genetic Alliance (the group working on the Human Genome Project)! Pretty exciting stuff!
Ok the point of all that is now that Brett is mobile, we’re packin’ up and moving west! That’s right it’s back to Winchester, VA for us. Since our 1 bedroom apartment is skyrocketing to $1500/month we decided now was the time to buy! And it really is a buyer’s market! We looked around and discovered that we could get so much more for our money in Winchester (compared with Leesburg) and decided to look for a townhouse to buy!
We watched every home buyer show on HGTV and looked around in the area and found a GREAT deal on a 3 bedroom, 1.2 bath townhouse in eastern Winchester. Since it’s close to the highway, it saves Brett time on his commute. And it’s close to school for me!
Oh I almost forgot the best part! A big backyard for Dexter, our golden retriever!
We close on June 2nd!
Until then, we’re learning all about rural and FHA loans and considering upgrades we’ll want to make before moving in! One thing we’re set on is hardwood flooring throughout the house! Any suggestions on brands/materials etc?
We have an awful lot of HGTV to watch to make this happen!
