Just a quick update on where we stand with our housing situation! We have been on the market about 5 weeks now, and we have a potential buyer. The airport is buying her house in October, and our property is her pick for a new place. Our agent and everyone involved is confident enough that everything will work out, that she convinced us to put a contingency on a house ourselves. We went back and forth on the area we want to move. I 'really' wanted to end up in Trussville, and for a short time we actually looked at houses there and started thinking seriously about it. But after MUCH consideration, we quickly tuned back into St. Clair county, either Springville or Moody. There are countless benefits to living over the county line, and we feel it is a more responsible decision on our part. I am a stay at home (work at home) mom, and Curtis' job is in Irondale, so we have no need to be in the middle of the city.
I liked a lot about Springville better, except for the distance. We were shocked however when we sat down with mapping software and learned that the amount of time it would take to get to Springville was 5 minutes or less of a difference from the amount of time it takes to get to our house now. The distance is a little greater, but the difference is that now, we are about 15 minutes off of the interstate. Stop and go traffic, red lights, etc. The neighborhood in Springville we like is only 1 minute off of the interstate. We actually did several trial runs over the weekend and were stunned to find that it really is the same amount of time.
Sooooo, low and behold, we put a contingent offer on a new construction... it is everything we want. It is the same floor plan I was eyeing in a neighborhood in Moody, only it sits on a larger lot with a perfect sized back yard. The back yard butts up to an open field that will never be developed with houses... if anything there will be neighborhood amenities put there (a soccer field or tennis court.) The neighborhood playground and pool and adjacent to the property as well. We know that one small change could throw the whole thing off course, and that is ok! We are staying obedient and faithful to God's plan, but as of now, if everything continued to roll on the path it is now, we would be calling "Legacy Springs" home before the end of the year.
Looks kind of small from the outside, but it is actually almost 2500 square feet! The interior layout and features are what we want and need to a "T"
I love the pictures! I'm praying praying for God's will, and secretly hoping that it's for you guys to be in Sprang-ville! Love you guys, and miss you! Love the floor plan, too! New construction- I'm so jealous!
