We are building a house!

We are building a house!!!! The development is the 4th phase of Woodcreek Park in Flat Rock, off of Gibraltar Rd. The subdivision is really nice - sidewalks, decorative street lights, a tot lot, private parks, and nature trails. We were told by the builder's rep that our neighbors are mostly young couples which is great. And there are deer all over the place - it's like living in the country almost.

It's close to I-75 and Telegraph, so it will be an easy commute to work for both Scott and I (once the 75 construction is complete). Another bonus is that it's really close to Oakwood Metropark, which connects to Willow and Lower Huron Metroparks. I believe there's even a bike trail that goes from the city hall (right next to our sub) to the metropark. The sub is right behind Flat Rock high school, City Hall, and the library. There's a playscape there, and in the winter an ice rink.

We put a lot on reserve a couple weeks ago and just signed the purchase agreement yesterday. Next step: the builder signs and we review the paperwork and give the go ahead. After that we get a commitment letter from our lender (we already have the pre-approval) and have a meeting to finalize the options that we are including. Approximately 4.5 months after that, we will close on the finished house!

We are excited for the months to come and want to document the whole process!!
