We bought a house...that doesn't exist.


So here's the thing. After watching the real estate market in Ann Arbor for a long time we realized that if we were to buy another home, we would have to make some major sacrifices. Either the location, the size, the features or the price was going to leave us with something we didn't love. And that is less than ideal for us because we have a policy in this household that we don't buy ANYTHING unless we both love it. 

So, we decided to just build what we want! After looking at a lot of new construction areas we settled on a neighborhood called Prospect Pointe just to the east of Ann Arbor in a township called Superior. We bought a corner lot on a cul-de-sac and you can see the location here, or from google street view here.

It is going to be a long process to build this house that will take somewhere around 8 months. We thought it would be easiest if we posted on here how things were going along the way so that anyone who wants to know can find out and see plenty of pictures. Lots more to come!

  1. Glad you guys found some where you want to build. 8 months is like an average time to build a house. I pray that you guys find good contractors and things go as smoothly as possible. Yes I am very much looking to see the process unfold. Please do post more pictures and let us know how you're doing!
