[Elizabeth] It looks really pretty in here.
-[Jill] Yeah. -[Kyle] I like the beams.
-This is awesome. -Yeah.
[narrator] After moving nearly every year with the Air Force,
Kyle and his wife, Elizabeth, will finally
be able to put down roots in Iowa City, Iowa,
near the girls' grandparent for the first time.
[Kyle] I like having the dedicated dining room,
especially with family coming over.
From a space perspective, you could have your entire family move in.
Do we need a second kitchen?
I don't know if we need it. I mean, it's cool.
[narrator] Problem is Kyle's rigid standards are making things tough.
-A little small. -[Jill] You don't have your farmhouse sink.
Man.
[narrator] Not to mention his obsession with price.
[Jill] Unfinished floor, how do you feel about that?
It's gonna cost money.
This is listed at $425,000, right?
Yes, this is at the top end of what you wanted to spend for sure.
It's more than the top end.
-The level of frugality... -[Kyle] Yeah.
...makes me a little crazy.
-[doorbell rings] -[theme music plays]
-Hey, guys! -Hey, look who's here.
[all laughing]
I'm a test pilot currently with the Air Force,
and I'm getting ready to enter a Ph.D. program
in engineering and flight research.
[Elizabeth] And I work from home.
I'm an associate director of sales
for a digital marketing company.
Are you happy to be here finally?
I think we met when we were.
I guess we probably were 14.
[Kyle] We started dating right after college.
I'm the most Type-A.
As a test pilot, you have to be pretty exact
on certain parameters you're trying to hit.
So Type-A helps in that regard.
Elizabeth is the dreamer in our family, I think.
She keeps pushing for new adventures.
I just love spending time with her in general.
-Yeah, I don't think that-- -[Cici] Can I have the biggest?
-The biggest piece, okay. -Yeah.
-How's that one? -[Cici] No, that one.
I would say our family dynamic could safely be considered chaos.
We have two little girls.
Annie just turned five and Cici, who is three.
And then we have two dogs who are insane.
[Elizabeth] Up until now, we've been moving all the time.
We moved to Texas together,
followed by North Carolina, Idaho, California, Florida,
and now, we're headed to Iowa.
We'll be here for three straight years
as he does this Ph.D. program
So our families are both here in Crown Poin in Indiana.
We're gonna be in Iowa City, which is a quick four hour hop.
Uh, that's quick in military terms.
Are you ready for us to be that close?
[Keith] I've been dreaming of you being that close.
-You can fly right out and go on a trip. -[Kyle] Yeah.
The girls can stay with us.
[Elizabeth] Giving them a chance to be near their cousins,
near their grandparents, during, you know, sort of this peak childhood time,
that's really exciting.
So what are you guys looking for out there?
Victorian, kind of along those lines.
I love when it's just got all kinds of character built in already.
There's so many of those older houses in this area.
I would love to try to find something like that if we can.
I kind of like the craftsman feel.
They're more open, and it's a lot easier
to get that natural light in I think with an open plan.
I think less upkeep overall.
-[Elizabeth] Yeah. -Um, I don't want anything that we have to work on a lot
because I'm gonna be busy.
I want to keep it as low stress as possible.
There could be a house that fits a lot of our criteria,
but needs a little bit of work,
and that's an area too where I'm willing to spend a little bit. [laughs]
How many bedrooms do you want?
Four bedrooms acceptable, five beds desired.
Mmm-hmm, I would love to have a fifth bedroom
because you guys know right now,
my office is in the guest room.
-[Kyle] Mmm-hmm. -So when you guys are there,
I'm kicking you out in the mornings,
or I'm on top of you.
I know that you really want the RV parking,
but I hate the idea of that being out front.
That's such an eyesore.
We love camping. That escape is our favorite thing.
The girls absolutely love it
So our camper is a pull behind.
We need to find somewhere to park it.
-[Elizabeth] True. -If we don't find camper parking
we're gonna have to pay for a lot
at a monthly rate.
-Yeah. -And that eats into your budget.
I think I'm comfortable with a maximum of about $400,000.
I know we have double income right now,
but that can always change.
-The level of frugality... -[Kyle] Yeah.
...makes me a little crazy.
-Yeah. -I'd pay a little bit more for something
that we know we're gonna get to really enjoy.
[Cici] Where are you guys going?
We're gonna go find a house in Iowa, okay?
I'm excited to show the girls Iowa City.
I feel like they're gonna like it a lot here.
-Oh, they're gonna have a blast. -Yeah.
I mean, that's part of what
I really want to make sure that we find somewhere
that can fit, throw all the cousins in,
-you know, a basement and... -Mmm-hmm.
-...let them have their fun. -Yeah.
[Elizabeth] These houses are nice.
-Nice, mostly ranches. -They're older.
-[Kyle] See, there's a camper on the side. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-Yeah, and look at that hous what do you see? -[Kyle] It looked pretty nic
What do you see? The camper?
No.
-[laughing] -I think that's done well.
[Jill] Hi, guys.
-[Elizabeth] Hi! -[Kyle] Hi.
[Jill] Glad you found it okay.
[Elizabeth] Yes, we did. It's a cute neighborhood.
-[Jill] It is such a nice neighborhood. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
[Jill] Come on in.
You wanted lots of daylight This is huge windows,
-so you'll have plenty. -[Elizabeth] Yeah, that's true.
-All very gray, but we can... -I like it.
I want to find something that satisfies both of them.
The only issues is they want different things.
Victorian versus craftsman,
neither one really exists in this market
unless you up the price range.
So we're just gonna have to make some concessions,
and this is a ranch, but it has been fabulously updated.
Here we have this awesome remodeled kitchen.
[Elizabeth] Yeah, it's a good size.
Don't love the double sink.
-I want a farmhouse sink ideally. -[Jill] Yes.
-That's not gonna be easy to change that. -Yeah, you can't...
You can't even soak a standard pot or pan in there really.
Do you do most of the cleaning and she does the cooking,
-or do you take turns? -[Kyle] That's our arrangement.
-[Elizabeth] Yeah, yeah. -She cooks and I cleans.
You want to switch?
-I don't know. I don't know if you want that. -[laughing]
[Kyle] I am concerned about where the table is going,
the dining room table.
-Yes. -Yeah, I mean, our table's
-really big. -There's no real good dedicated space for it
unless you're blocking this whole space...
-Yeah, I'm almost thinking... -...and I like having it open.
That's why I think we should put it in the fron
That would be so strange to walk into.
-Like, that's-- -People eat in their front room all the time.
If it's a dining room.
-But it's... -Just make it a dining room.
-It's not. -Just call it a dining room, now, it's a dining room.
I don't know. What do you think?
[Jill] Um, I think it would be weird.
[laughing] Thank you.
All right. I'm outvoted.
It is a ranch, which I'm not in love with the style
and the layout that brings with it.
And then the house is listed at $399,900.
[sighs] It's right on the edge of my comforts.
Right now, we're both workin but if one of us stops working,
that could really strain the budget.
So it makes me a little bit nervous.
[Elizabeth] This looks really pretty in here.
-[Kyle] I like the fireplace It's nice. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-[Kyle] It's a good space. I like the beams. -Yeah.
-[Elizabeth] This is awesome -[Kyle] Yeah.
[Elizabeth] This is really great out here, wow.
-[Jill] Privacy fence back there. -[Elizabeth] Yep.
-Yeah. -The fence over here definitely needs some work.
[Elizabeth] Ooh, yeah, 'cause the dogs will be out there...
-[Jill] In no time, -[Elizabeth] ...in a second
If we want to redo the fence completely...
-Yeah, that's true. -...that's gonna be several thousand.
Yeah.
[Kyle] It's a good-sized yar
[Elizabeth] This is a nice size.
I mean, you could stick a trampoline over here.
I could put the camper back here.
[Elizabeth] I don't know how that would possibly work.
-That's a perfect fit right there. -There's no way...
There's no way to get that back here.
[Jill] We could just get a crane.
Right, I mean, how are...
-Bring it over here. -How are you getting the camper back here?
Wonder if we can make a wide-swinging fence
on the side and drive it back.
Think we'd have to pave it.
I've looked into it. It's maybe $40, $50 a month to park it somewhere,
and he's talking about paving the back yard.
That's gonna cost far more than we're gonna spend monthly
to just store it down the street.
-Nice big family room. -I like this space.
-You can see them doing sleepovers down here... -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-...and building forts and having their own space. -That's true,
-that would be fun. -And we'd keep all the clutter down here.
-[Jill] Yep. -We could try.
[all laughing]
[Jill] So this is the bedroom number four.
[Elizabeth] Okay, this is a nice little guest area.
[Kyle] It's good.
-[Jill] This could be your future office. -Okay.
-Unfinished floor and trim, how do you feel about that? -Okay.
It's gonna cost money. It's gonna take time.
[Elizabeth] I mean, it's nice that it's here.
-[Jill] Right. -[Elizabeth] It is its own separate space.
-Right. -I can shut the door and work.
I don't think we can count it as a pro.
-That's gonna be a stressor... -Yeah.
...trying to move in, move all our stuff in,
-and have a project on our hands. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-Check out the bathrooms on the right. -[Elizabeth] Okay.
-Okay. -Okay.
[Jill] This would be nice for your office.
you could just walk out that door.
[Elizabeth] This is a nice size, yeah.
The shared bathroom is to your left.
[Elizabeth] Oh, that's littl
There is a tub, but it's not a big tub.
So it would be one of the girls rooms then.
-[Jill] Yeah. -[Elizabeth] Okay.
-[Jill] Your other daughter's room would be over here. -[Elizabeth] Okay.
[Jill] Well, because you've got...
-[Kyle] Smaller, right? -[Elizabeth] It is smaller.
-It's a lot of... -[Jill] But you got these book shelves.
-[Elizabeth] Yeah, those are really cute. -[Kyle] That's nice.
So check out the primary bedroom straight ahead.
[Kyle] A little small.
-A lot smaller than our current bedroom. -Yeah.
-We're gonna have to get creative with it I think. -[Kyle] Yeah.
[Elizabeth] These are really cute though. This is.
Not a walk-in closet, but it's...
It's not, but it's charm.
-So I like that. -[Jill] Yeah, definitely has some charm.
[Elizabeth] Ooh, this is a lot smaller than we're used to.
I don't even think all of my hair products
-would fit in there. -[Kyle] That is tight.
I don't think we could share this.
We'd be at each other's throats I think
if we tried to share that little bathroom.
[Jill] What do you feel like are the upsides
or what's the downsides?
[Elizabeth] Um, I mean, that's a tiny room,
tiny bathroom, so that would be tough.
-Again, the dining room table is an issue. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-[Kyle] The whole ranch layo isn't ideal, but... -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-We've got some things to think about. -[Kyle] Yeah.
[narrator] So Jill finds another option
with plenty of room for the and any visiting family to spread out.
Looks like this house is quite a bit bigger
than we're used to,
upwards of 4,000 square feet.
-That's massive. -Yeah.
I was looking up ballet classes for the girls.
-Mmm-hmm. -It actually looks like the college has some.
I'm unreasonably excited for their first ballet recital.
I think you're gonna want to come with some tissues,
-for sure. -Yeah.
[narrator] A relocation to Iowa is giving Elizabeth and Kyle
more time to focus on family
And the large split-level they're seeing today
offers plenty of extra spac for relatives to come visit
Looks like this house is quite a bit bigger
than we're used to,
upwards of 4,000 square feet.
-That's massive. -Yeah.
$425,000 is the listing price.
It's still a lot higher than I would like, but...
Yeah, but I mean, it's a ton of space.
Oh, there's a park right down there.
- Maybe a little walking tra over there. -[Kyle] Yeah.
[Elizabeth] That's really cool.
That'd be right down the sidewalk.
-[Kyle] Nice lawn. -[Elizabeth] Yeah,
you wouldn't really have to do much
-with the grass. That's nice. -[Kyle] Yeah.
I like the steps leading up.
-[Jill] Hello! -[Elizabeth] I like this landscaping.
-[Kyle] Hi! -[Elizabeth] Hi!
-[Jill] How are you guy today? -[Kyle] How are you?
-[Elizabeth] Good. -[Jill] Good.
This home could be the one for them
because there's so much space for the money,
it's in a great neighborhood
and the kitchen has been completely gutted and redone fabulously.
They're in the process of moving out.
So everything's a little bit jumbled up.
-[Elizabeth] Okay. -[Jill] Hardwood floors throughout the main level.
-[Kyle] Very nice. -[Elizabeth] Not crazy about this color of hardwood,
-but it is nice. -[Kyle] You don't like that?
-[Jill] A little orangey for you. -[Elizabeth] Yeah,
a little bit, a little dated.
[Jill] This is a really nice-sized dining room.
-Yeah, this is nice. -I like having the dedicated dining room,
especially with family coming over...
-[Jill] Yeah. -...more regularly, that would be nice.
[Elizabeth] Yeah.
- Ooh, this is beautiful. -[Kyle] Wow, look at this.
[Jill] Beautiful quartz counter tops...
-[Kyle] Yeah. -[Jill] ...all new cabinets new flooring.
[Elizabeth] I could be very comfortable...
-It's a great kitchen space. -...cooking in here.
Yeah. You don't have your farmhouse sink though.
Man.
[Jill] You'd think we'd want farmhouse sinks, it's Iowa.
-You'd think. [laughs] -[Jill] We got farms.
You'd think you'd be the founders of them really, but...
Here is the screened porch.
-[Kyle] Oh, I love it. -[Elizabeth] Oh, this is neat.
-Wow, what a great yard. -[Kyle] It's a good space.
And then beyond that, there's actually a city park over there.
-Oh, wow. -And then that--
Oh, we drove in and saw that.
-Yeah. -We saw that walkway.
The girls, I could totally see them playing outside in the yard here.
There's definitely just a cozy feel,
and as we move back to famil
it's all about family I think in this neighborhood.
[Kyle] There's no fencing.
[Elizabeth] We'd have to do that for the dogs.
-And this is listed at $425,000, right? -Yes,
this is at the top end of what you wanted to spend.
-For sure. -It's more than the top end.
-Well... -[Elizabeth] It's above his top end.
We're adding in a fence.
Elizabeth said she could go up to that.
[Kyle] I didn't see any camper parking out front.
[Jill] No camper parking.
-This is gonna be a rough thing to find in this town. -Which is, uh, disappointing.
-Yeah, all right. -[Jill] Yes.
This level, we have three bedrooms
-and a bathroom this way. -[Elizabeth] Okay.
And your main bathroom and bedroom is right here.
-[Kyle] This is a good size -[Elizabeth] Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
-[Kyle] Nice big window, love that. -[Jill] Yeah.
Bathroom is over here.
-[Elizabeth] Okay. -[Kyle] This has updated sinks at least.
[Elizabeth] Do you think these seem updated?
[Kyle] Do they not seem updated to you?
[Elizabeth laughing] Those do not seem updated to me.
[Kyle] Well, at least we have double sinks.
-[Elizabeth] We do have double sinks. -[Kyle] That's helpful.
Feel like I'd want to
-paint all of these. -[Kyle laughs]
-[Jill] Paint all the wood? -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
-[Jill] It'd be a project.. -[Kyle] Would you need to update it all?
[Jill] ...a lot of paint.
I love this too. This is cute.
Cozy little wood-burning stove.
[Elizabeth] I feel like that's kind of the first pop of charm I've seen.
-[Jill] Let's come over here -[Elizabeth] Okay.
[Jill] And we can check out your own private
small office at the end.
[Elizabeth] Oh, wow. Okay.
It's kind of like I really have my own little wing.
[Jill] Usually there's just a bonus room downstairs,
this one has a bonus house.
-[laughs] -[Elizabeth] Okay.
This is getting very big.
-[Jill] This is kitchen number two. -[Elizabeth] Wow.
-Oh, my gosh. Okay. -A whole 'nother kitchen.
So you could have your entire family move in.
[Kyle] Do we need a second kitchen?
I don't know if we need it. I mean, it's cool.
We could definitely host holidays here.
There would be no limit. Just about all of our famil
that's over in Indiana could fit in this house at one time.
We would not be crowded at all in this house.
-That's for sure. -[Kyle] No.
If this was for the rest of our lives,
it would probably make a lot of sense,
-but where we are... -[Elizabeth] Yeah, if we--
[Kyle] I just... I don't know if we need this much.
It is way more than we want to spend already.
It's not cheap to update areas either, so...
No, it's not.
[narrator] So Jill finds another option with Kyle's concerns in mind
a fully updated new build with one small catch.
[Elizabeth] We're sharing a wall.
That's tough with kids...
-[Elizabeth] Yeah. -...and our whole lifestyle.
[laughing] Yeah.
[laughing] Really kind of out in the middle of nowhere.
I wonder if there's really much out this way
-for the girls to do. -Yeah.
I'm not sure about that.
As we get further set out,
you're gonna get more for your money
-and these are newer neighborhoods. -[Elizabeth] Right.
Pretty nice curb appeal,
probably as close to a craftsman as you can get
in this area from what we've seen.
[Elizabeth] All duplexes over here.
So we're sharing a wall.
That's tough with kids.
-Yeah, they're pretty loud. -And dogs.
-[Elizabeth] Yeah. -And our whole lifestyle.
[laughing] I know, everything about us.
I guess they're working on the grass.
[Kyle] Yeah, that'll take some time.
-[Elizabeth] Yeah. -[Kyle] That's all right.
[Elizabeth] It's gonna be quiet out here...
-[Kyle] Yeah. -[Elizabeth] ...in the middl of the corn field.
-Good morning! -[Elizabeth] Good morning!
-How are you guys today? -[Elizabeth] We're good. How are you?
I felt like I should bring them here because it is brand new construction,
and it's well below the pric that they were hoping for.
Kyle will be very happy.
-I love the bricks on the outside. -[Elizabeth] Mmm-hmm.
[Jill] There's a nod to craftsman here
with the, uh, spindles
-and things like that. -[Kyle] Yeah, I like that.
-It's got the curved corners too. -Yeah.
Nice lines.
-Nice open space in the living area. -[Elizabeth] Oh, yeah.
-Right. -[Elizabeth] I like this.
-[Kyle] Fireplace. -[Elizabeth] It's a beautiful fireplace.
[Kyle] Very coo
-[Jill] So come on and check out... -[Elizabeth] Okay.
[Jill] ...this screened porch.
[Elizabeth] Oh, pretty.
[Jill] It's got two by four construction, so it's very well built.
-[Elizabeth] This is lovely. -[Kyle] Yeah.
-Yeah. -We'd have to fence it as well...
-Right. -[Jill] Yeah, that's true.
[Kyle] ...which is gonna add to the cost,
but we got some wiggle room now,
-so that helps. -[Jill] That's true.
Nice natural light coming in from the windows too.
-[Elizabeth] Mmm-hmm. -[Jill] Yes.
-[Kyle] That'll work. -[Elizabeth] It's not...
There's not a ton of storage in here.
[Jill] But look at this!
-This is what you were wanting. -[Kyle] Oh, farmhouse. Yes.
-[Elizabeth] Yay. -[Kyle] Very good, thank you.
-One to... -That's what I'm looking for.
-All one sink. -I like the color scheme too,
-the black... -[Elizabeth] I do.
-[Jill] Yes. -[Kyle] ...against the gray
It's not huge.
I'm just thinking about, like, getting, like, our dining table in here
- and then... -[Kyle] Yeah.
[Elizabeth] ...enough furniture.
-So we might just feel a little... -[Kyle] Yeah.
-Cramped. -Cramped.
-[Jill] So nice-sized family room. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
And it's walk-out, so you get your daylight that you were looking for.
-Great. -Okay.
[Kyle] Any chance of sneaking a camper back here?
[Jill] Not unless you get that crane we talked about earlier.
-[laughing] -[Kyle] Ah, not quite.
Still no camper parking to be found.
I think it might be a pipe dream at this point.
-This could be your office in here. -Okay.
-[Kyle] Guest bedroom. -[Jill] Yep.
-[Kyle] Maybe? -[Jill] You're not gonna have a guest bedroom
-and a separate office. -Okay.
[Jill] So that's one of the downsides.
-Yeah, that's... -Kicks out...
That puts me back where I am now,
sharing, which I don't love.
It's just kind of a pain.
I have to kick the guests out in the morning,
or find somewhere else to work when they're visiting.
So that part's definitely not ideal.
I wish it had one more space.
[Jill] So, the girl's bedroo
-would be right beside each other. -[Elizabeth] Okay.
This would be a shared wall though.
So one of them's gonna be
sleeping in a room that...
...is shared. So, you know...
-[Jill] Right -Right.
-[Jill] Right. -And they're not quiet children.
-[laughing] -No, and we don't want them to have to be.
-But I think... -I don't want to have to tell them to...
[Kyle] It seems like it's pretty solid construction..
-[Jill] Right. -[Kyle] ...all around the house.
-[Jill] Yeah. -[Elizabeth] Yeah.
[Kyle] I doubt there would b
-huge issues... -Yeah, but if there was,
I mean, what do you do?
We haven't really thought about a shared wall before.
I think it's more of a concern for Elizabeth than it is for me.
I think these houses are built so well nowadays
that hopefully, that's been kind of built into the structure.
So vaulted ceilings in the primary.
-[Elizabeth] Okay. -[Kyle] Love that.
[Jill] And huge walk-in closet over there.
[Elizabeth] That is nice.
-Oh, wow, look at this closet. -I like the colors, the gray walls.
-Yeah, it's very soothing... -I really like.
-...and very contemporary. -Yeah.
[Jill] Here's your primary bathroom.
Oh, double sinks. That's great.
-[Kyle] Sharp. -This is really pretty too. I like this tile in here.
[Kyle] I love it.
I love the craftsman type of touches,
and the fact that it's a new build for such a low price.
-Sure. -Yeah.
-I don't know if we can beat that. -I mean, that's nice,
but the shared wall is really a concern,
and I really don't like that I don't have my own office space.
-[Jill] Yeah. -I think there are ways to work around it though.
If there were no shared wall, and I had my own office space,
we'd make an offer today.
Because of those two things,
I feel like we're gonna have to think about it
and figure out if we can compromise there or not.
-Think it over. -[Elizabeth] Okay.
New construction's going pretty quickly.
-All right. Thanks, Jill. -[Jill] All right. Thanks, you guys.
-Good to see you again. -Bye.
-You too. -[Jill] Bye.
[Elizabeth] We've got four hours
-'til we get the girls. -Yeah.
So let's chat it out.
[narrator] Before Elizabeth and Kyle can finally settle
into their new life in Iowa
they need to pick which house will work best.
What did you think of that mid-century remodel,
the ranch?
[Kyle] Near the top of the price we wanted to pay.
-[Elizabeth] True. -[Kyle] And it has the unfinished office space
[Elizabeth] Yeah, we'd have to finish that.
I still just don't like the general layout.
Like, our dining room table
-is not gonna fit in there. -Yeah, I don't think it would fit well in there.
We'd have to rethink our furniture...
-Yep. -...a little bit.
[Elizabeth] What about the split-level?
That was huge.
[Kyle] The split-level was enormous.
[Elizabeth] You're not gonna get more guest space.
Yeah, my biggest concern with that one is the price
and the fact that there's very few updates.
Outside of the kitchen,
just about every inch of it,
there's something I would want to update if I could.
The maintenance of that house is gonna be intense.
[Elizabeth] There's a lot of space for something to go wrong
- in that house. -[Kyle] Yes.
The attached craftsman.
I really like the style of i
We're not gonna find that much space for any cheaper than that.
[Elizabeth] The attached par is a concern for me.
I don't want to have to be telling the girls
to quiet down all the time in their own house.
And not having my own office space,
I mean, that was a huge piece for me.
I mean, it's brand new, right?
So we're not gonna have to do any updates
-or any repairs... -[Elizabeth] Right.
[Kyle] ...whatsoever for quite a while.
I think I'm pretty certain about what's gonna work well for our family.
-Do you? -Yeah. Yeah.
I think I am. I think I know which one I want.
[doorbell rings]
[Debbie] You want to go see the new house with mommy?
[Kyle] You like the white and the black?
We chose the remodeled ranch.
Pretty much brand new, inside and out.
So we're not gonna have to spend a whole lot of money updating it,
besides that one bedroom downstairs.
It has the sperate office space and guest room for her,
has a perfect-sized back yard for the girls and the dogs.
And it doesn't have RV parking.
-[laughing] -So it's perfect.
[Kyle] I knew that was gonna be a lost cause by the end of it.
-Think we'll put some, uh... -[Debbie] Is this where the piano's gonna go?
-In here? -Yeah, piano will go right there.
I love the built-ins, and it's got some history to it.
I'm so glad they didn't get rid of all this
-when they redid it. -[Elizabeth] I know.
It just gives it a little bit of character.
They wanted $399,900, and we were actually able
to get it for $390,000, which was great.
[Kyle] We were able to negotiate to get the fence fixed,
so that decreases our overhead a little bit as well.
-Divided sink, we'll live with it. -[Annie] Mommy!
I think I might've made the most compromises on this house.
It didn't have quite the craftsman type of style I was looking for
and then a little bit toward the top of what we wanted to pay.
But for the space and the updates that we get
it's a great choice.
Are you guys playing hide and seek?
[Keith] Anybody in there? Peek-a-boo. [laughs]
[Kyle] This house is gonna be huge for the girls.
They're gonna start really building some long term memories here.
[Elizabeth] I see us having cookouts out back
and eating on the screened-in porch.
See the girls running around in the back yard, chasing the dogs.
-[Keith] Cool. -[Debbie] Is this our room, this is the guest room?
-This is your room. -[Kyle] Yours, what do you think?
-Oh, nice. I like it. -Nice.
Everywhere else we've been,
we've been plane rides away from our families.
So now, the fact that there just a couple of hours away,
that we can hop in the car and see them for a weekend
is amazing. I'm so excited about that.
