Another offer
Woo Hoo. We have another offer on the house in town. Another property investment group. Again they offered low but our realtor called theirs right away and told them that we won't go for less than $..... Their agent called them and they said OK, send the counter offer. So that is off to them this evening. They have until 3:00 Friday afternoon to take it or not. I was rather surprised, they are offering a CASH sale. Eeek. Who has that kind of money just lying around!?? Definitely not me. The downside is that they don't want to close until April 1 (not exactly an auspicious day) But at this point, I'll take a firm offer. And, we've lived with our current financial situation for about 10 months already, we can do this for another two. Of course, our financial cushion is much, much flatter than it was a year ago- but there's light at the end of the tunnel.

ReplyDeleteI am thinking happy thoughts! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy, happy thoughts!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great for you! You'll have to send me an email (pennysemail@comcast.net) because we're thinking of buying a foreclosed property with 11 acres nearby. It's a great opportunity, probably the only way we'd ever be able to afford a farmette, but we wouldn't be able to sell our house first. This freaks me out! Tell me how you did it without losing your minds, lol!
ReplyDeleteFingers to my head, eyes closed...thinking good, very good thoughts! April will be here before you know it. Good Luck- hope it turns out good...debbie
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you stuck to your principles on the house price/details. Things will start looking up soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I haven't been commenting lately, but you know why. I do read your blog almost everyday! So know that I am rooting for you and yours at all times!!
Oh! And cash people are the best (usually) because no mortgage company can hold things up!
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on our chive seedlings! I now how much you need them right now!
(See? Two comments on one post!)

ReplyDeleteGlad this is all coming together for you. I remember when I announced my engagement, someone came to me right away and said they'd be interested in my house and bought it. It has changed hands 2 or 3 hands in the past 14 years, but it is a nice house for someone... Yours will be, too.
ReplyDeleteOh - GOOD LUCK!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the offer! I hope it comes through, I can only imagine the burden that must be! :)
