We did it!


Well it finally happened! We got our dream house! We put the offer in on Valentines day and here we are more that 3 months later with the acceptance from the sellers! Why did it take so long you ask?! Well it was a short sale: The buyers are selling it for less than they owe, so the bank loses money. The bank took forever getting appraisals and broker estimates and the like, and when they numbers didn't match up to what they were being offered, they put the house up for auction. Then when it didn't sell at auction, they finally settled on our offer and we got our dream house! Long story! It was painstakingly slow, but it was well worth the wait we are set to close and move in mid-June. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We plan to move in on or around June 28th. We're kind of waiting for a more solid date for the close of escrow. It can't happen fast enough!
