Have you been kicking yourself for not buying back when rates were at 5%? Have you come to the realization that cool mid-century homes arenCOt going down in price? In fact, there just arenCOt any mid-century homes that are even on the market Co that was, until today. Today is the first day of the rest of you life. ItCOs one of those days where everything just falls into place and you canCOt stop smiling. Even the mean Starbucks barista remembered your name and smiled as she handed you your triple, extra-hot Americano (she probably has a crush on you). Today is one of those days where you find the best parking spot in the Trader JoeCOs parking lot and the sunshine feels a little bit warmer on your face as you swing your reusable grocery bags into the cart. ThatCOs because earlier this morning your agent called screaming at the top of her lungs CYouCOre not going to believe this but your offer just got accepted for 3668 Northlake Dr. we are headed to closing!!!C Today youCOre walking on clouds as you reach down to grab the bunch of yellow tulips in the black plastic bucket. You love yellow, itCOs such a bright and happy color, just like the front door of your soon-to-be-new mid-century home. You canCOt wait till the end of April to start moving in all the mid-century antique furniture youCOve been collecting over the years, specifically for this home. ItCOs going look so good in that living room with the original tongue & groove ceilings and those big picture windows. YouCOre so happy the owners left the brick planter under that amazing skylight. ItCOs crazy to think it was just yesterday that you were down in the dumps worrying about how you would never find the right home with the right vibe. But here you are pushing your shopping cart through the frozen section of TJCOs dreaming about all the fun appetizers you'll be serving at your first pool party this summer! Heck, you might even host it the day after closing. After all, the salt water pool is heated. You canCOt wait to soak in that hot-tub every night as you gaze up as the stars. You take a deep breath in, a smile spreads across your face as you ask the TJ's cashier if she's having a good day. You exchange pleasantries, something clicks. You feel a connection deeper than just small talk about groceries. It's like the universe aligned for this moment, and you realize she is your soul mate. You ask if she likes mid-century modern homes and she looks deep in your eyes and says: "it's always been my dream to live in that neighborhood called Northcrest.." Your hands touch your heart expands. A shiver runs up your spine. This is your person. This was all meant to be.
