An Offer Made...The Waiting Begins

Ok, I finally have a moment to sit down and write more than a title.

As you have already read, Tuesday I went house looking without Jason. I saw 2 houses that I liked and we went back with him that evening to look at them. He dismissed both of them and that was that...until Wednesday morning. We both had houses on our mind Tuesday night and we both felt very impressed to go back and look at one of the houses again. So we did on Thursday afternoon. By that time we already had a list of things we wanted/needed to do to the house and an offer figure in mind but we wanted to take one last spin of the house to make sure. We were sure, so Cindy came over Thursday night and we put together an offer. It is very close to foreclosing so the bank and the seller both have to approve the offer. It's HORRIBLY over priced so we put in a VERY LOW offer...but we all (including our agent) feel like it's a fair offer for the house, the condition of the house and the neighborhood.

The house is a 3 bedroom cape cod with a garage. It has 2 bedrooms down and 1 bedroom up. Cindy (our Realtor) says that it looks a lot like Rachel and Tyler's house. It is just a 7 min walk from our current apartment. It needs some work (new floors in the kitchen, garage needs some roofing done) and could use some updating but we are pretty confident that we can get it for a reasonable price and then put our own touches on it over time.

We won't know anything until Monday so keep your fingers crossed.

Most importantly...it's a house that suits our needs and fits our budget.
