We spent the weekend house hunting in Denver. My parents joined us for the marathon search and for good times in the mile high city. The majority of Saturday morning and afternoon was spent touring 15+ different properties in various neighborhoods near downtown. Ideally this is where we would like to end up, someplace near the Highlands or Uptown area are at the top of the list.
It still amazes me how much more places are selling for compared to Kansas City. Our house would easily sell for over $200,000 in a similar location in Denver. Monthly rental fees don’t seem to be too bad, but I don’t think it would be possible for us to rent again after owning a house of our own. As of right now there are a couple of town homes that interest us more than anything. We may have to raise our price limit a little to see what else that brings us. Keep your fingers crossed…
PS Happy 27th Birthday to Kim today!
we have some pictures of all the house hunting and some pictures of us at Wymans trying to cheer on the Bengals but you will have to wait… we have 3 more days in Colorado! We drove all around the Rocky Mountains today… I mean around… you couldn’t go through them the roads were closed for the winter. We saw a huge heard of elk that we took some pictures of and there was also a snowman sighting :) Happy Birthday Kim!!! ps this is Claire
Cool, I can’t wait to see the Elk pictures. No big horn sheep sightings?? Enjoy the rest of your trip!

Thanks for all the pictures! I can finally see what some of the places looked like again. Hopefully I remember to give Kim the camera for her trip next week.
