Late last year (2011), early this year (2012), Hubs and I decided it was time to move. We had put a lot of time, money and love into remodeling and updating the house, so we had a pretty good idea that our next house would be new construction. We spent several weekends scoping out new construction neighborhoods.
In January, we were invited to a birthday party at a friends new house, a little ways north of us. The birthday party was in a new construction neighborhood, that was at the top of our list.
After the party, we were sure, that neighborhood is where we are going to build. Hubs and I did our due diligence by looking at a few more new construction neighborhoods; we found that we compared all the other neighborhoods to this one, and they just didn't match up.
We met with the neighborhood sales agent and our realtor to begin the process of selling our house and putting a contingent contract on the new property.

Keeping the house show ready with a baby was difficult, especially when our realtor wanted to have an open house the day of baby L's 1st birthday. Thankfully, we had a lot of help from our parents in getting the party set up at a local park and getting the house ready for the open house.
Turns out, it was a very good thing we had that open house... that day our buyer came through the open house 3 times!
