The stability of my work situation has improved quite a bit lately (whole other story) so we decided to "explore the possibilities" to determine what we could do based on our savings and our comfort with monthly payments by visiting a mortgage broker. We met with the broker two weeks ago from this past Friday (crazy fast, we know). With our pre-approval figured out we hit the pavement to look at homes. We focused on 3 or 4 areas that had houses we liked in our price range. We've been running around like crazy people trying to get in under the $8000 tax credit.
We saw the house that we liked best on Wednesday evening and had an offer together late the next night. The place is in west Arvada, with Westminister less than a mile to the east and Denver city limits to the south. We have spent that past 3 days in negotiations and came to an agreement earlier this afternoon. We're really excited to move forward with the process and I hope that posting this isn't a jinx. I guess a lot can happen between now and closing. Our closing date is June 22nd and move-in would be June 25th. We're both really excited, and a little nervous.

totally sweet, I already told you I love the place and can't wait to see it in person. We need to bring Dilly over so she can poop in your new yard.
That's really great guys!! It looks like a really cute house on the outside! Glad you're getting in for that stimulus money. We can't wait to see you in July.
Love,
Melecia
Congratulations guys! That's a nice looking house. Nuggets - Jazz in five minutes... !
Congrats!!
That is awesome, I'm excited for you guys!!!
Thanks, everyone. We way excited.
Paul, that's fine as long as Kaya can poop in your yard (hers are way bigger).
Glen, the Nuggets are too depressing for me to even think about at this point.
It has been fun talking to you about this decision...a very good one. I'm sure you and Paul can have a great contest to see which dog poops the most in the other's yard. Glad you guys stay faithful with the Nuggets, Rockies and Broncos even through their ups and downs. Glad things are looking up for you Joel.
Love, Dad
