Buying Our New Ryan Home Timeline
Coming soon…
... ‘Home Purchase Timeline’
Looking for a New Home Timeline
- Started “looking” late last year - because a grandchild was on the way. Our “empty nest” was about to be visited with a larger family - and a one bed/one bath condo was no longer going to work.
- Our first grandchild, a granddaughter was born on New Year’s Day. We then decided to be more serious in our search for larger “home” at the beach.
- We realized we wound have to give up our Ocean City oceanfront view to get a larger place that would not strain the budget - so we began looking in the Caine Woods, Ocean City area. Our first condo was in Caine Woods and we liked the laid back atmosphere of the community.
- We actually found a couple of houses for sale in CAine Woods that had some appeal - but they were far enough from the beach that we would need a car to get to the sand. The Caine Woods community also had no association, or local, pool. So, we decided to look a “bit further” back from the beach.
- We found the Ryan Homes development of Bayview Landing that was promoting single family homes from the 290’s. WooHoo - right at the lower end of our budget and a good bit less than we knew we could get for our condo (even with the so-called depressed real estate market).
For the rest of the story see the “Purchasing a Ryan home Timeline” post(s). They will be updated as the process continues - from the initial purchase agreement to the final settlement - and then on to “moving in.”
