Our original restaurant was relatively small, so we decided to change to a bigger house.In October last year, we began to officially look for real estate agent K to see the house.First look on the Internet, and when I saw a suitable house, I went to the site with the agent to see it.My husband wanted a big yard, and I wanted to buy a 20-acre (1 acre = 6 acres) landowner, I vetoed it, it was too remote, there were no neighbors.After discussion, we decided to buy a 2.5-acre to 5-acre yard, and the house was about 3500 square feet,( 1 square foot equals 0.0929 square meters) Later, the house got bigger and bigger, and it was 4000,5000 square feet.Initially, I chose the S school district, where the school is good, the house is good, especially the community of the suite we like, the houses are big and beautiful, the yard is 2.5 to 3 acres, the front yard is a big lawn and flowers, and the backyard is dense trees. But he still agreed to give an offer.One came and went in January began to enter the stage of negotiating the price, we wanted to wait for the eldest daughter to move after the summer vacation in early June, so closingday was set in early June, the whole process of buying a house is more than 4 months, normal is 2,3 months.The other party asked us to pay an extra $5,000 for a deposit, I think it's no problem, but my husband quit, the agent also thinks the seller is too much, saying that it is still a buyer's marketBecause his house has been on the market for more than half a year, only our family has been to see it, in fact, many of the houses we have seen have not been seen, maybe in the winter off-season, and because of the big house.

Agent K and her husband unanimously suggested stopping and looking at other houses. Otherwise, I won't move.The girl said that the tears were down.The husband immediately said that he was very understanding and supported his daughter.And immediately began to search for the house in the F school district.I found our new home.Then the whole family went to see the house.Everyone liked the house.So the quotation was very easy to negotiate the price.It seems that buying a house also depends on fate! We never planned to buy a lakeside house, and we finally bought a lake-view house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Many Americans have children when they are young, live in a big house, and when they retire and are old, they change to a small house to live in. Because there are too many places to take care of the big house. The couple we bought the house are nearly 70 years old, and they plan to sell the big house and buy a small house, of course, a house by the lake.

More than ten years ago, their husband and wife bought a piece of land by this lake, designed it themselves, and asked the construction company to build a house by choosing their own materials, and there are many places in the house that are very cleverly designed and intelligent, and some places are connected, such as the hottub room on the first floor and the toilet are connected, so that you can use the hottub before and after changing clothes, showers, and the sink and toilet in the master bathroom are divided into 2 men and women, and the wardrobe is also divided into 2 men and women; From the backyard can go directly to the deck to the 2nd floor porch, the garage in addition to the normal door, there is a special passage and the house connection, the garage has a total of 4 doors, 2 through the outside, 2 through the inside.

In the process of looking at the house, we have only seen 3 houses are built by their own design and materials, my husband loves such houses, he understands architecture, and said that the quality of such houses is much better than the houses built by general real estate companies

The couple who sold the house returned to Minnesota from Florida in May, and before that we had negotiated the price with their agents and signed the contract for the sale of the house. The contract included some things they wanted to leave us, like hottub, 6 bar chairs for the bar, all the furniture for the formal dining room, etc., as they were moving into a small house and there were too many things. They also looked for a townhouse by the lake before they came back, and then there was a little problem, they bought a new house closingday 1 week in advance, so they asked us if we could buy a house with us closingday also 1 week earlier? But the date they moved out was still the original contract date, so it became that they rented our house for 1 week, and the rent was 500 US dollars, which was exactly the same as the furniture we wanted to buy their sunhouse, so that both parties were cleared. Of course we agreed, and it was equivalent to giving away a set of all the furniture and décor of the Sun House for nothing.

The couple invited us to go and told us about the various mechanisms in the room, how to operate some machines and equipment, etc. A week later, they moved out and hired a professional cleaner to clean the house inside and out, as well as mow the lawn and tidy up the yard. The agent told us to go to our new home immediately to change the garage code and collect all the keys. When we checked each room, we found that in some places they still left a note to tell us how to operate, and specially wrapped the liquid left for us to clean the hottub and moved it to a high place, probably because we were afraid that our little bandits would touch the accident, very careful and kind old couple! The hostess also left me a lot of books to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, enough for the tadpole mother to study hard.

The sun house near the lake, where it is pleasant to bask in the sun in winter, is next to the porch. It turned out that the owner of the house left it all to us

The following two pictures are of a formal dining room, and they are also left untouched. Lao Mei is more pretentious, and there is a formal restaurant at home and an informal restaurant. The former is used during the New Year's festival or when guests come, and the decoration is very beautiful, and the furniture is all arranged. The latter is the daily meal of the family. The kitchen also has an eatinkitchen (a place to have breakfast or a meal for one or two people, usually on the middle island of the kitchen, on the right side of the picture)

There are a total of 8 chairs in the restaurant, and 2 are missing in the photo. The different styles of plate decoration on the wall are very distinctive, I like it, and the curtains are tastefully decorated. The floor is a built-in carpet that matches the carpet at the entrance. The small flowers on the curtains and the flowers on the carpet also go well. The original hostess was very tasteful and very good at decorating the home, and I liked the color palette she used, which was more elegant.

The hottub (hot jacuzzi), which can accommodate several people at the same time, is a small swimming pool for children. The ground was covered with small pebbles, and the water that flowed on the ground immediately seeped into the cracks in the stones and flowed into a corner and drained out. The ceiling is equipped with an exhaust fan so that moisture does not corrode the furniture in other rooms, and it is cleverly designed. The children love this hottub, and the friends of the eldest lady also like to play. It was also left by the original owner

Tadpole and sister are playing hottub, and they can really relax and enjoy a massage inside

The little bee is too young to play hottub, so it plays on Daddy's pool table. It was also left by the original owner

Small bar on the ground floor with a backyard deck and lake right out. This is Tadpole Daddy's favorite, and as long as a friend comes, he will inevitably bring him here for a drink or something. And the eldest lady, every time a friend comes, after taking a boat on the lake, after swimming, they have to come here to have a drink, eat some snacks, and then watch TV in the familyroom next to it, play billiards, massage in the hottub, and watch how much the life of Lao Mei is! The bar is also left by the original owner, and the eldest lady and I plan to decorate it a little

My personal experience of buying a house:

1. locationlocationlocation is the first priority. First choose the area where you want to buy a house, and consider the quality of residents in the community, the crime rate, the quality of the school, the distance of the shopping center, the park, the real estate tax, etc. After choosing the area, and then consider the specific location of the house, Americans like to choose a quieter place, such as the end of the road, where there are many trees, usually the house at the end of the road is slightly more expensive than the house on both sides of the road. Then it is to avoid the house near the highway, high-voltage line, railway, etc., I think it is better to have the house more than 1 mile away from the highway, there is no noise impact.

2. Look at the house online for a period of time first, so that you know how big the house and yard you want to buy, how many bedrooms, etc. Then find an agent to sign a contract to entrust him to buy a house. Communicate with the agent and listen to his advice, especially every time you look at the property, listen to his analysis of the pros and cons of each house, or the potential of the house to be transformed. Because my husband understands architecture and houses, the agent will often analyze with him how to renovate the house, because no house is 100% suitable for all your requirements. Especially for the more picky people, like tadpole daddy. Slowly you will figure out what kind of room you want.

In our state, the peak season for buying a house lasts from March and April to August and September, and then enters the off-season until February of the following year. I don't know if this winter will also be the off-season, because since this spring, there has been a rush for houses, and the supply is less than demand, especially for small houses under $300,000, because loan interest rates have been rising, and many people want to buy houses.
