It's great you found something you like without having too much urgency. When we were looking for one, I got so sick of going to multiple open homes every single weekend for about 6-7 months straight. It was incredibly depressing how much some of those small old houses were going for back then.

The first time we bought a house, we went to nearly 100 open homes, as counted by the stack of info sheets.

The second time, we went to three in one day, put in an offer that day, and that was it.

This time we have been to maybe 10 in 2 years. We know exactly what we want, but there aren't many houses that fit the bill (including location, which is perhaps the most important). This house we like, among other things, because there is a train station and a high school within walking distance. One is helpful now, and the other will be ideal when the kids are a bit older.

Defined sounds like a good location. Hope it all goes smoothly for you!
