Late update
We had three showings today right in a row so I spent the afternoon cleaning up for it and trying not to yell at the kids for dragging junk back out. We officially hit realtor.com (our mls# is 2536989) but the pics aren’t up yet.
The owners of the house we’re interested in came back with a truly lousy offer (they actually raised the asking price but offered to pay closing, as if this made it a deal) and our realtor said we should play hardball. I told him that I trusted him so he sent back another offer that’s more reasonable. He said their realtor begged him, “Don’t let this deal die!” The house has been on the market three months and with the soft market, their realtor is feeling frustrated that they wouldn’t meet us halfway.
I went out with Amber and our friend, P, last night and had a grand time. P. says she will be moving in a couple of years but I think she should just move to the neighborhood we’re looking at and we’ll all be best friends forever.
I’d write more but there is work to be done, dammit! And I must do it!
You go! I’m hoping for house-ness for you guys!
And HEY the black background ran away!
I checked the house at realtor.com. The pics (they’re up) are great! I hope you sell quick! And the best of luck with the house you want — it’s so nerve-racking when the sellers do that!!
Sell, sell, sell.
And I hope you get to buy at the same time. Good luck…
House is great by the way - I bet it sells quick!
