We're under Contract!

After a week, where we didn't think we could possibly fit in any more life changes, we ended up going under contract on a house we are totally excited about moving into! 

As of last night about 11:30 pm (we LOVE our real estate agent - let us know if you need one as he is so great) we accepted the counter offer and we were under contact.  Due to the extra-ordinary ability of Ken (and his partner, aka, wife, Lauren) we were able to get the paperwork back into the other agent last night and be under contract by this morning, with an inspection scheduled for 9 am today. 

We met with the inspector (he was also the best with which we have ever dealt - go Steve of Home & Building Services, Inc.!) and he had nothing but a glowing report of the house - in fact, he said it was in the top 10% of homes he has inspected in a while (in regards to quality). And this is the same inspector which flat out told our real estate agent to not buy a house he really wanted.  So, needless to say, we are really stoked about the house, the location (which does have some nice views of downtown Seattle) and the quality of the fittings. 

While we don't want to count our ducks till the fat lady sings, we are ecstatic about our choice and looking forward to moving in on March 3rd!

Here are a few pictures of the house:
