 Well hello my friends and welcome to the house hunt vlog. I'm searching for a home today. Actually I've already searched for the home so let's just not draw this on any longer and let's get to the footage of me looking for the home and then I'll pop back and tell you why I was there and what I was doing. Okay so here's one of the builders I'm looking at. This would not be my home which is why I'm showing you the exterior. I'm really here today to look at the quality of workmanship and all of that. I think this house is actually under contract right now so that means that somebody has already purchased it or trying to purchase it right now but we're gonna go inside look at the finishes and you know see see what it has to offer here. So in just a second I will take you inside. All right so this home is still under construction kind of like I suspected. However here's the front entryway. Here is a coat closet. That's kind of nice. Some of the floor plans I've been looking at there isn't a coat closet so it's kind of nice and then obviously there'll be like a banister and like you know guides to go up or down and then over here is the entrance into the garage and I didn't even pay attention how many car garage it was. Oh it's a three car garage. They've got all their materials in there. Cool. All right so let's go upstairs. So it's kind of similar to the layout that I showed you guys before but obviously different because this is a new build. So sorry it's so blown out. Let me see if I can go this way. So these are not the finishes that I would want but again like I said I want to check out the quality of the builder and what they put in and all that stuff. I do like that there is a vaulted ceiling which is nice. It gives you a little bit more headspace and then in the backyard. So a lot of the homes in Minnesota they don't come with decks but you can always put one in. So obviously I wouldn't be using this until you know I got a deck because that's a little unsafe and then this would be the main living area looking out to the front of the road. So don't fall down. So then over here is this is one of the bedrooms. It's just pretty small but this would definitely be like my office if you will and then there's a pretty big like L-shaped walk-in closet which is great and I love this big window. I could put my desk right here and film. Alrighty and then across the hall is the only bathroom. Again the layout isn't perfect but that's okay. I like the cabinets but obviously I'd want them white because you know I'm that person. Hello I'm like so advertising YouTube today whatever. Yeah basic tub surround. Tub surround which is fine. Cool. I'm not a fan of the floors at all but again something that could be changed and then here would be this is I think the master bath, master bedroom. Yeah I like how the houses I don't know how like my lot would be but I like how the houses aren't like right next to each other you know like I don't feel like I mean I'm sure I could see the people over there but I like how there's a little bit of separation and then this essentially is a little bit of a deeper L-shaped closet which is nice nice walk-in. So I could definitely fit the king bed in here no problem. Alright let's go don't stow. See what's up. It feels so weird walking like this. My realtor should be here any minute. Okay so here's the basement. Alright so alright so there's a walk out which is really nice down here and this is a really nice big space as well as this is a little crawl space I'm not going to open it because there's crap in the white and then whoop over here it's about the same size of a bathroom as upstairs not too shabby. Again the floor not my favorite and then into here is going to be all of the washer dryer crap. Hello and then this is the other bedroom nice big window and this closet is tiny but that's okay. Oh it has like a little little ledge in here too. Alright so that's it for the tour. Okay so that was a quick peek at one of the homes that I am possibly considering. That house will not be mine which is why I was completely comfortable showing you the front of it and everything. The general layout might be mine. I don't know. I am not a fan of the dark finishes like the wood and stuff like that. I want all white so the builder can do all white it's just a matter of like actually building it and making it my own and there are a couple of modifications I would want to make in that floor plan however there's a bunch of different lots that are currently available in that area and the neighborhood is really really nice it's really quiet. All the houses are pretty much all brand new as well which is kind of nice and there's a lot of other features to that home that I'm really interested in so there's a couple of other things that I want to talk to the city about especially if I'm going to be building I just want to make sure that I'm exhausting all of my efforts. I am still looking for existing homes while this process is happening I know I'm kind of like all over the board but feel like the reason I am like that and I talked to my realtor about it today I was like I'm sorry am I kind of all over the place with like home selections and whatever but I don't have a husband I don't have a partner I don't have mate I don't have anybody to like bounce stuff off of and it's just like all going like ping-pong-pong all over in my brain so I don't know I mean it's a big decision and I want to make sure I'm making the right decision for me as well as making sure that I can like grow within the house too you know so anyway but um but yeah I really like the quality of the build um I feel like it could suit my needs really well again you know it would be just a little bit different but not by much and um I actually really like that smaller second bedroom on the main floor like on the on the top floor for like my filming room because I feel like that'd be just like just enough space to put a desk or like my desk and then have some like lounge chairs or something in there I feel like that would be really nice switching arms already I feel like that would be like a really nice place to have like favorite daughter Emily headquarters um as well as I could do like all my filming in there I love that window it is so nice and bright and I feel like I get a lot of filming done in there you guys and also the closet is really a good size walk-ins it's like that L shape walk-in so I could um put some like a little dresser or something in there too um to create some more storage I don't know so I mean the only downside is to the top level is there's really not any storage like there's no storage in the bathroom um that kind of sucks but I think I could make it work I think I could totally make it work but you know obviously I could store stuff in the vanity and things like that but there's no like set linen closet so oh well I mean I think it would be all right so yeah that's kind of why I was there I wanted to check out this builder to see you know the quality of finishes if I liked it we actually did tour another home after that it was the exact same house but just a couple of streets over and that was really kind of cool um that one was a little bit further done than the first one that I looked at that I actually pulled the camera out and showed you there were other people in the second one which is why I didn't film that one at all so whatever oh and like the coolest thing okay so let's tell you the coolest thing which some of you will find this really interesting so I met my realtor at the first home and then we drove together to the next home and then we kind of like walked around the neighborhood a little bit and uh then he dropped me off at the first home that we were at because my car was still there and as I was pulling away the person that lived next door it was a woman that came out she was going to walk two of her dogs there was two shebas two shebas two doiled dogs were there it was crazy so she came out the front um and I was like I was driving away and I was like ooh should I stop I'm like no I don't want to be that crazy like what if I move here I need to like calm down so there was two doiled dogs she had with her and they were both like the red color that looked just like doyle doyle's over there right now you can't really see him very well he's got like all the blankets over here here doyle doyle you're gonna say hello to the camera you're gonna say hello he's not gonna say hello he's busy he's napping it's like his eighth oh there he is there's my buddy hi boo boo hey stinky boy anyway but yeah two other doyle dogs are in that neighborhood which is kind of cool um and it's already got some established like walking paths and stuff too so that's kind of nice um because right away I won't have a fenced backyard because the fencing doesn't come with the price of the house so that's something that I would have to do additionally at some point as well as there is no deck on the main level so I would have to put that in too but there is like a little cement pad downstairs but if I still want to do like the renter thing or have a roommate I would want to not invade their space as much as possible so because we'd have to share laundry in the laundry's downstairs too so anyway I just figured I'd give you guys an update I did ask on Instagram if you guys would be interested in seeing a house hunt and everyone well not and not everybody but there's quite a few of you that said yes so I figured I would share this as a little bonus video for you today so if you have any questions feel free to leave them below um so yeah I feel really good about this possible building thing and like I said I'm gonna keep looking for existing homes too you just you never know what I'm gonna find um the market is definitely picking up just a little bit now that it's um being a little bit nicer outside it's actually 50 something degrees outside which is crazy this time of year in Minnesota that's just nuts in the next couple of months it's really gonna tick up with the amount of listings and stuff like that too so if I see anything I like I'll go take a tour of it um if not it's fine I mean I can always do the build as well so anyway but I am gonna let you guys go because I am rambling now and I will see you all in my next video bye guys
