House hunting

Today we went to look at 3 houses. The first was near Bailey's school. It has 3 bedrooms which is what we need. The backyard was a bit small but there was plenty of space inside so it made up for the lack of yard. The next was down the road a bit but still in the school district we want. It has 3 bedrooms and a separate family room/living room. The layout works really well and it has a huge backyard. It reminded Nick and I both of the houses we grew up in. The third house was looking good when we drove up but then the realtor couldn't find the lock box. She called the listing agent and told her that it was missing and then she informed us that someone had taken it and she hadn't come to replace it. Apparently selling the house wasn't a top priority for her.
So we saw two houses and put an offer on one of them. We already have an offer on another house just waiting to see if it is going to be approved. We upped that offer just because it is in a great location, walking distance to the elementary school and it has a pool. We can update things how we want instead of having to live with carpet and windows and appliances that were chosen by the previous owner. It's also about $15,000 less than the second house we put an offer on.
Now we wait and see. They are supposed to give us an answer by May 20th but I'm hoping it's sooner. It would be nice for Nick to get a great birthday present and me to get a great Mother's Day gift. A new home!
