Pardon my WoW terms. Basically I’ve been in the mood to buy a house lately. Why? Basically I’m tired of throwing away money at my apartment complex. Don’t get me wrong, i love this place. Its so much nicer than my old place. I just can’t see a reason to keep renting and giving my hard earned money away. Plus Obama is giving away free money to first time home buyers. I can’t pass up $8,000 bucks.

Thus I’ve been home shopping. I’m looking for homes in the price range of 130 – 150k. I’m hoping to get something in the 135 – 140 range so i can use a few extra bucks to upgrade my furniture and appliances. Looking in Edmond and NW OKC, i see all kinds of houses for sale. New ones and Old ones. My mother says i should look at semi-new (less than 10 years old) homes that were well kept and upgraded. I’m leaning more towards the brand new never owned option. So far 3 bedroom 2 bath seems like the best investment. (Even though i doubt I’d use the third bedroom for anything) I really want hard wood floors and a nice kitchen. Everything else is pretty much negotiable.

That said, i think i need so professional help. I’ve been looking online all week and I’m pretty over whelmed by all the options. I’ve been looking at website after website and everything is starting to run together in my head. I also don’t know specifically where in Edmond or NW OKC i want to live. Right now i’m happy with my location. I don’t know if I’m ready to move out to west Edmond in the newer developing neighborhoods. I like the looks, its just a bit of a drive to central Edmond where i do most/all of my shopping. I’m hoping to find a good realtor that will show me around and give me some good options. Suggestions are welcome!
