On the Hunt

Since about the second we moved down here we have been on the house hunt. We've been so blessed to be able to live with my parents while we're in transition and it really hasn't been bad....At least I don't think so, but we are anxious to get into our own place again and feel settled. I feel like we may have high expectations coming from our amazing neighborhood in St. George and it's been kinda hard to find something we really love. Home prices are rising and we are finding we are either going have to sacrifice location for home size/number of bedrooms. About two weeks into the hunt our realtor told us of a bland new neighborhood, but it was located out in Queen Creek which is about 15 to 20 minutes away from all my family.  I love the idea of a new build and I like the floor plans and the prices are great! My biggest reservation is not knowing the area very well and also feeling like we're "way out there".  Queen Creek is considered farm country meaning it's pretty rural and I am definitely more of a city girl, but there is nice shopping and good school options. We've been told on several occasions that Queen Creek is the next up and coming place and we would be smart to get in on it now, not to mention everyone we have talked to that lives out there loves it. So with all things considered we went ahead and picked a lot and put money down on one of the floor plans. It's due to be done the end of April and we're getting pretty excited about it. 


This is about where it sits right now. We will do the pre carpet walk though the middle the April and the final walk though the end of April.
