We've always talked about moving to Sun City West "someday". So starting January of this year, we started looking for a home there. The first house we looked at was exactly what we wanted. But, we didn't want to buy the first house we saw and we figured more like this will pop up. Boy, were we wrong! Houses were out of our price range, too much work, or snapped up before we got a chance to see them. Tensions were rising rapidly after 2 months of looking almost every weekend. Max wasn't willing to up our budget, I wasn't willing to give up the golf course lot. But one fateful day in March, a house hit the MLS that had potential. We did a drive-by that night and LOVED it! We called our realtor and said we were ready to put an offer on this house sight-unseen.
She said we better move fast because the listing agent was already waiting for a contract to be faxed. We saw the house (didn't really care too much) and wrote up the offer. By that evening, we were in a 3-way bidding war. We were victorious in the end, but in reality it's just the beginning.
