We originally looked at the house next door and put a bid that went unanswered. We were upset, and I (Metzi) chastised myself for getting my hopes up. "Things happen for a reason", "This wasn't the house for you" were the comfort words of consolation our family and friends offered. And so *sigh* we started our search again.
But lo and behold! The neighboring house went up for sale! Being the sign seeking sinner that I am, I took it as the Universe rearranging things in our favor once again. And so the Universe smiled as we negotiated...and negotiated...and negotiated again on a price.
So here we are. Bank appraisers went in today and we snuck in to do measurements. Not really snuck, but we can pretend we were sneaky. Funny how different everything looks sans furnishings of others. Kitchen and main bath need absolute remodeling and updating, and most other rooms have to come up to speed. But hey, for a starter home, this ain't shabby!
Now it's time to hold our breaths as we get our paperwork and necessary items ($$$$) ready as we wait for a closing date.
