Well, we are committed now. We put in an offer on an Oro Valley home. After some back and forth, we have a contract, contingent on inspections. In Wisconsin, doing an inspection means hiring a house inspector. In Oro Valley, there are additional specialty inspections for termites, roof, HVAC, and sewer. If the inspections go well in the next two weeks, it is full steam ahead with the closing set for the third week of July.
Without locating the house for the internet, I will say that we are close to trails, pickleball and have mountain views of the Catalina and Tortolita ranges. I’m pretty excited about it. It’s a single family house, single level house with a walk-in shower. The back yard is walled/fenced for Callie’s enjoyment. We definitely downsized and stayed within our budget, but the house has high ceilings and still feels spacious. Julia likes the house, and I like the outdoor space, so we are both satisfied.
This morning on our six mile walk, we spotted three javelinas. I managed a photo of one, but the other two were romantically involved behind the brush.
This afternoon, we stopped in at Dragoon Brewery for a hazy IPA.
With our business on the house done for the most part, we headed over to The View for burgers and music. It was nice to sit outside in the shade with a moderate breeze and cooling temps (98). The View is the golf club restaurant at the Sun City in Oro Valley. We looked at some homes within that community, but decided against it. Our new house is in an all-ages neighborhood.
Those old folks have some nice views though.

Huuurrrayyy and congratulations!!!!! It sounds as if you found a wonderful spot. Is there another next door. I sent Michelle's brother Steve down there a year or two ago to house hunt but he got side-tracked. November through March are delightful! Really happy for you. Will we get to see pictures?
Thank god things are going so smoothly. After the last few years of turmoil, I'm sure glad you're getting a bit o'respite.
