My wife and I bought our lil house in North Hills back in 09 when the market tanked. Bought a foreclosure, and over 12 years renovated it from top to bottom, roof, ac, kitchen, bathrooms, doors, crown, base... all new.
Well the homeless explosion during covid was the final straw for us and LA county. We decided to sell and look in Ventura county for a new place.
Sold our lil 1350sq ft house for crazy money. Put all our shit in storage, and moved into my moms house with our 3 dogs, 5 yr old son and 7 month old baby. Sold our house early May and been crashing at moms pad since, building fences, fixing plumbing, ordering windows, getting hvac installed. It's been busy.
Searched for houses, put out at least 6 offers 30k + over asking and couldn't get into a house.
We had to up our budget but we finally got into a house that checked all the boxes. 4 beds, single story, 2000k sqft, pool, yard, and bonus rv access. And in a great Simi valley neighborhood.
Escrow had all kind of challenges because the sellers agent was a fucking dipshit and their escrow company sucked huge balls.
Once again I used Joe @OldSchoolBoats for our loan (3rd loan now I believe lol) and got exceptional results and a super low rate. Thanks again Joe!
Once we got keys the storage/ moving company was booked for almost 3 weeks so it's been a marathon of paint, base moldings, filling in a floor depression with matching hardwood, roughing in can lights, ceiling fans, carpet and now unpacking. Still gotta paint the living areas but bedrooms and bathrooms are done.
But it feels good to be home! Also my son's first day of kindergarten in his new school where I ran into @4Waters lol. Tonight's the first night we're sleeping here and it's sooooo quite
P.s. having your 7 month old sleep in your bedroom with 3 dogs, a squeaky raised foundation and single pain windows is quite an experience lol.
