Closing on our new home, stress factor is a little high

[redshoes]

DH and I's new home is finally finished . Good news: It looks great, after all the delays from digging the hole to finishing it- it was worth the wait. Bad news: we cant get the mortage company to take our money, seriously. We told them two months ago that we wanted to close on Tuesday (April 25th). We called them on Monday to setup the appointment and the mortage officer said, "oh, you wanted to close this week?", um yeah, that was the goal . Here is the issue, we have to be out of our apartment no later than Sunday, we have no choice. It is now Thursday and as of end of business day we have not heard anything from our mortage company, not even a reason for the delay. As of Wednesday, everything was approved and waiting for the underwriter's signature. My poor DH has called them four times today, with the exact same message- We need to close on this house by tomorrow. Please tell me that I shouldn't stress and that everything will fall into place- either that or send me some Valium, because I have a feeling I'm going to need it .

Oh gosh, all I can say is look for that or some other muscle relaxer. You know what they say, "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" We've experienced a lot of that with selling our old home and buying our new one.

We close on our new house TOMORROW! I can't believe it's here, but after all we've been through I should believe it. Good luck!

I hate to tell you, but it's not going to happen. If it's still in "underwriting" the closing package probably hasn't been ordered yet, and that can take another week.

I'd ask the builder if you can take possession early--maybe do a rental agreement for a week or so?

Oh Anne- so not what I was wanting to hear (at least you're honest)! I swear this house is cursed, everything that should have been easy has been one long never ending nightmare after another. Being the type A person that I am I hate that I have no control over any of it.
