So we have had quite the experience with buying a home in Utah. We have seen at least 10 (that I can remember). We have been interested in 3 enough that we put in offers. The first one was in Lehi and had a pool. We were one of seven offers in the first 24 hours on that home. We didn't win it.
The second home (I posted previously) was on Secretariat in Eagle Mountain. We were under contract on this home for a week or two and were drawn in by the good sized yard and kitchen. But the lack of storage had me concerned enough that I kept looking to see what else was out there. When this home on Bristlecone was listed, I knew I had to see it. Aaron wasn't happy since we were already under contract on the Secretariat home. But once I told him all about it, he agreed to see it. We put our offer in the first day it listed for a good amount above asking price since we know how this goes (plus, we were one of many showings that first day). After waiting it out for a few days and them having another offer, we had to go above that offer and so we did. We get to close on April 18th and are so excited about it!
These pictures are from the listing. I knew I had to screen shot them before they disappeared after we went under contract.
