There’s this house in my hometown that we’re in love with. It’s bank owned, 3 bedroom antique that’s pretty much updated. The previous owners put some work into it, but they honestly did a rotten job with a lot of it. BUT the location is perfect, and with a little work, this house could be incredible. The asking price was out of our range, so we put in a really low offer, knowing that they’d reject it. The came back with an offer just under the original asking price. We countered again with with what we considered would be the absolute most we’d be willing to pay. They countered again at $5,000 over that. $5,000. That’s not a lot. We’ve sort of decided to go for it. EEEK!
It’s not even close to being a sure deal yet. We still have to get a home inspection and a lawyer and come up with the money to pay for those and the down payment. And our loan has to go through. We were pre-approved, but I have to somehow find a way to prove my income. We have until noon on Wednesday to give them our answer. IF we get it, our closing date will be July 30th. One month away.
Crossing my fingers.
it’s lovely
I love the look of that house!
Oh! House! House! My daughter has decided that if we are to move again (Oh Yes We Will) that she wants us to buy a historical house – with the date stamp near the front door.
