House viewings begin.....day one

Well today we went out looking at houses for the first time. To say it was a day of mixed reactions and emotions is an understatement! We went out and looked at 2 in the area of Vera that were like chalk and cheese. One was in amazing condition if a little overpriced and the other to be kind was a little tired! Following those two we went outside our search area to see a house that we both adore and still do but sadly it is just too far out. After that we came to see on paper a house that completely fitted all our wants and a few more but the downside was motorway noise!


Nice house......over priced!

Best thing was the pool!

We adore this house, it is a bargain too, just so far from civilisation!

Not an imposing frontage....

Lovely poolside area.....

A view to DIE for!!!

Jacuzzi bath.... ;)

Hydro massage shower in the master en suite... ;)

Lovely large kitchen

The view from the lounge is to DIE FOR! ;)
Later on in the afternoon we went to see a house that was smaller in square metres than we had set as our minimum but had other things to recommend it! To say we had our breath taken away by the view and then the rest of the house lived up to the view was an understatement! It was one of those houses that gave you the gut feeling that "I could live here", so the score card is 1 nil so far and onto day two of viewings tomorrow!

  1. We had established a set of criteria to share with estate agents (realtors) . We thought our minimum size house was 150 meters square (1500 square feet). The house above was only 134 meters square, but has a much more spacious feel and spectacular views. It is at or above the top of our price range, but given the housing market here, the buyer is in the driver's seat. We still a lot more houses to view before we are ready to make an offer.
