All set...

The seller accepted the closing date of June 26!! Thank goodness!! So hopefully everything will work out and we will be ready to move at the end of June!!

Offer accepted with one little, big thing...

They accepted my offer but wants a later closing date. I had put that I would like the closing date to be June 19th, but he would like the closing date to be July 1. We were hoping that we would have enough time to get in there and paint, clean the carpets etc...I could prorate my rent for a couple days, but I think I will compromise and ask for a June 26th closing date, so we can do what we need to do in the house and only pay a couple of extra days in the condo. YEAH!! We are almost there!!

Another House...Another Offer

After we looked at this house, I was ready to make an offer! Here we go again! The house is cute and has great potential, plus if everything works out I will have equity already since the SEV is higher than the asking price!! BONUS! Keep your fingers crossed!

Craziness....

So here is the update...we have gone back and forth all week, and I am not happy with the sellers at the moment. I think they should have taken my offer and I am sure that this is just to see who is going to stand firm first and I did! I think my final offer was fair! We are going to look at a couple more houses tomorrow. I am not totally bailing on the condo, but now need to make sure that the condo is it. That's it for now!

Missed Deadline...

So the people had until 5:00 today to respond to my offer and they failed to do so. I was a little huffy with my realtor because I didn't hear from her all day and finally called her at at 5:45 and had to leave a message. Boy was I frustrated not knowing what was going on...finally she called around 7:00 and said that the other realtor left her a message and she was unable to get in contact with the woman who is in charge of the sellers "trust". So, now I can legally back out if I want to, or I thought just because they failed to respond to the first offer I should make another offer, lower than the originally! Ha, ha!! Anyway, it is annoying!! Is this a sign of things to come???

Some Birthday Pictures...36!!

Pretty Soon I will need to have a fire extinguisher near by when they light my birthday candles!

Put an Offer In...

Well...I found a place and I put an offer in. It is a condo!! Ha, ha!! Of everything that we have been looking at this has been the best, plus I LOVE the fact that we can expand our living space with the full basement that is plumbed for a bathroom and has 2 egress windows. So we shall see what happens!!!

The search continues...

We are going to look at more houses today...with some condos mixed in. Now when I say condo, they are really like duplexes. I want to look at all the options!! I just need to be patient and the right home will come a long!

What a week...

So last Sunday we were going to go to an open house out at Lake Isabella. On my way to my moms I thought I would drive by other house to see if it was still on the market...I quickly saw that they were having an open house that afternoon and I just had to take a look. I walked in and I got a nice warm feeling, they lay out was great, nice front yard, but....no back yard, just a concrete slab about 6 feet deep the length of the house. We went back to the house for a second look, and I just couldn't do it...the house didn't have anything that was on my original list and would not have great resale if I should have to sell. So with that said the search goes on...I am looking at one today right by the hospital, this one has a yard!! I also checked with my mortgage guy and asked what were the parameters...and he said I can look at condos, duplexes, new construction, land...etc. I thought well, there is always the 4 bedroom condo for sale right by me now!! Ha, ha!!
