House hunting

We went to see a few houses with a realtor the other day. We really really like the first one we saw. It has a massive sun room, a large open basement (some of it unfinished), a huge beautiful deck made of plastic decking, lots of prairie grass and trees, a mowed path throughout the land (approx 5 acres), cedar siding, cherry kitchen cabinets and a cedar swingset. Some other pluses were a small 8x10 shed and a two animal kennel. We're going to see it again with the realtor tomorrow. We talked with different lenders and it looks like we qualify but they're asking much more than the appraised value and for what the neighbor houses sold so we have a good shot at lowing their listing by quite a bit. The previous owner was a doctor who didn't get hired at Mayo so he moved his family back to California and the house is empty. Another plus is a friend at work's property butts up against the back of this one's.
