So here’s the latest on my house hunting endeavor: two Fridays ago I’m sitting on my couch at my apartment after work and my Realtor calls me because a nice place just became available that day. Lots of people had been looking at it already because the price was ridiculously low and it was in great shape. After looking at it, I was very impressed, so I decided to make an offer. Two hours of paperwork on Saturday later and the waiting began. She told me it usually takes banks 3 to 5 days to make a decision and get back, so don’t expect an immediate response.
Monday at lunch I get a call saying there were other offers and I needed to aim higher (understandable; as I offered list price and it was low to begin with). So I bump it up and she tells me we may know by that evening.
It’s now a full week later and we still don’t have an update – so I’m thinking the bank went with someone elses offer and just neglected to tell us to bugger off. I hope I’m wrong, and I guess I could be… but the past week has been excruciating and it’s not getting any better so far.
). Now the features I’m hoping to find within those constraints are some good sized trees around the place, central heating and air, and hardwood floors throughout. Oh, and no pool. If I can find something like that I’ll be happy. Listings get bonus points if they have a covered patio, porch, or carport.
