Well...Debbie and I met at 11:00 this morning to start the house search all over again. We reviewed the houses available in my price range; of course they were 99% short sales. We sorted them into No Go, Possibility, and Let's Have a Look.
From the Let's Have a Look group, I chose the house that I wanted to see first. Anyone who has spent much time house hunting will know that there is a moment when you first walk through the front door, before you have even seen the rest of the house, that the house just grabs you, this was the house! (Even better than the previous house that I had an offer on.)
This time we are looking at 1243 square feet...And this house has a family room...With a gas fireplace! The house has been on the market for approximately four months and has never had a single offer made on it (???) But then, I had never seen (or at least never noticed) it in the morning reports and MLS searches that I received...until this morning!
Needless to say, Debbie and I went to the nearest Starbucks and sat down and wrote out a full price offer, which she has already submitted. Now we wait...AGAIN!
To be on the safe side, I wanted to look at a few other houses, and maybe have a backup, just in case this house didn't work out. As it happens, after seeing the
This Is It House, nothing else had the right feel. Sooo...Once again, all of my hopes are placed one house...
If it helps any, after Debbie dropped me off at Todd's house I found a penny...Could it be a lucky penny?
(BTW...We also cancelled the offer on that previous house...That'll show 'em!)
I like the looks of this house. After some searching, I believe I found the listing so I looked inside as well. Hope it goes through. Keeping fingers and toes crossed.
