In the market for a house!

We went to see 5 houses the day before Mother's Day.  Loved this one!

The "pink room" which contained a doll collection was really what sold us on this house.

How can you say no to a pink living room?

So, the story goes:  we decided to put a bid on this house Monday morning.  Called our realtor and she told us the house went under contract Sunday night!  Ahhh....we were bummed.  Went househunting the next weekend and continued to hunt for the right home for us.  We found another great house and put in a bid only to find out that someone else also bid on the house.  48 hours later, we found out the owners flipped a coin to decide which bid they preferred and we LOST the coin toss.  At first we were bummed, but then another 48 hours later, as Allison scoured the real estate listings online, she discovered that the first house was BACK on the market.  It was literally listed as "Back on the Market".  Awesome.  So, we contacted our realtor to put an offer on the house and by 7pm our offer was accepted! We were so happy.
