Sorry to hear about the house drama Nicole. The right one is out there for you.

Here's hoping some good house news comes your way soon!

As sure as you all are probably sick of hearing about my house drama, I'm sick of dealing with it. I REALLY like the house, too.

An update on the house we made an offer on. We offered low know, but it has been on the market for 1 1/2 years. So, we offered, they countered, we went up a little, and their counter was the same as their first, which is $6,000 less than what they paid for it. The houses in their neighborhood have dropped in price. The builder was way over charging people and either the first buyers took big losses as they sold or the builder finally ended up selling way below. One was listed and sold for 70,000 off of the original listing price - that is how overpriced they were.

Good Luck I hope they take your offer.

Not sick of it at all. You vent all you need to. It's hard not getting emotionally attached to a house, but you do. I've had my eye on one for a while, but the Powerball Fairy has lost my address.

It is indeed a shame that homes were bought at such inflated prices. Tough to swallow and accept the loss of $6,000 less than was paid.

I guess I am still happy living in my rented apartment. We have done the math every which way and think we come out ahead or close to even in cash years from now vs. having a house to maintain.

Nicole I am sorry to hear that they are being so stubborn.
I am thinking that may this is not the house for you, but only you and James can decide that.
Have you continued looking at other houses?
Maybe something nicer will come along.

The part that makes this house so appealing is that it is newer. Newer = me not having to be mad at James because he can't/won't fix anything. It's in town, which a lot of the newer homes in my community are outside city limits, thus crossing a busy 4 lane highway anytime you want to go anywhere. We don't have to find any place until February, so we've got time, but it would have been nice to move before Christmas. The thing that makes this house so unappealing to most is that the backyard is the size of a postage stamp. It's very small. But, all the kids in the neighborhood play in front. So, for us, not an issue.

Good luck with the house, Nicole. Who knows, while this is going on maybe "the perfect" house will fall in your lap.

That's probably the biggest reason why we built our house. There were lots of nice, but older, homes in the area we wanted to live. But we really aren't fix it up kind of people. We wanted something that we could move in to and not worry about the furnace, etc for awhile! We've been here 5 years now and would like something different, but with the market today, it's just not possible. We live in a very rural area with not much around us. The house across the street from us has been on the market now for 2 years. We know the asking price of it and it's a lot less than what he paid for it...

I do understand completely what you are going through.
I don't know where you go from here, but maybe time will help.
I know when we were selling One house in 2007 people came with an offer.
We signed it back at a different price.
Then they were gone for 10 days and we had thought they had moved on.
Then they came back with another offer that was what we were looking for, but not the asking and we accepted it.

I am afraid I will forget over the weekend...

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian firends!

HAPPY FRIDAY Dis friends!

you guys have fun in Indy tonight- eat lots of good cheesecake and some adult beverages too!

George and Liz- feel better soon.

Nicole- sorry about all the house stuff, i hope something great comes your way soon.

Jen- i think you look fantastic, but i understand the mommy makeover thing- heck i work in the business. your body does change in ways that sometimes exercise can't fix. I have seriously been considering (after baby #2) doing a natural b**b aug- we have a water lipo that harvests your own fat for immediate re-injection. so no silicone or surgery again 10 years later- use your own fat! I might have to do that one. BFing wasn't kind to me! Plus, one of the plastic surgeons we work with said that if they take the fat from say your thighs and that is where you normally gain weight first, well then if you gain weight, it will be in your b**bs now! too funny.

grits- love em- you guys are making me HUNGRY!

 

[Tonya2426]

Hellooooo, we've had this conversation. 5 of us and only 2 of you. It's easier for you to move here. Plus, you'll be close to the beach.

You are no fun...

Hellllloooooo!!!!!! The solution is for everyone to move to Florida.

 

[halliesmommy01]

I posted a thread below but wanted to make sure you guys saw this. Her dad is doing ok now it is her mom.


I just got a text from Jackie. Her Mom is now at the ER. Not sure what is going on yet. She asked if you could send her more positive thoughts and pixie dust.

Thank you!
I am trying to get the laundry done and the packing as well.
That way when John comes home I just have a few last minute things to grab at the store.
Then we can head north.
I am so excited as tonight on our way north I get to pick up my gun..
There will be some target practice this weekend I am hoping.

You even told me to check in over here yesterday afternoon...and I didn't get to it! Dang! that was one big posting war. Have fun at the cottage.
We have a busy weekend around here, Thanksgiving, Oktoberfest and a local County Fair (my sister won 3 ribbons & her son is showing animals with 4H)

Add me to the list of those with colds...I have no one but DD to blame, and I am doing my best not to give it back to her.


Hi everyone!
Happy Weekend...and have fun in Indy!

Awe, thanks! Three babies have not been kind to my body, but they are worth it. I didn't get any stretch marks until the 3rd and even then, just 2 and they are small. The muscle separation was difficult. I had no idea why I had so much pain. It literally felt like my insides were being ripped apart. So when I get that tummy tuck, the doc will lace the muscles back together like a corset. Maybe for once in my life I'll have a flat stomach. The "girls" have also suffered from BFing, then factor in the size and gravity.

Sending good thoughts to Jackie and her family!

 

[AnneR]

Wow!

I was really expecting to come home to a new thread.

At least we can still continue our chat.

To all those attending the Indy meet - have a great time.

Nicole - good luck with the house.

I'm at home this weekend, probably doing some prep for our Halloween trip, Homecoming Dress shopping and of course all the weekend chores.

 

[Dodie]

I agree, Tonya. That is the solution for ALL OF US, isn't it? Maybe someday...

P.S. I can't believe this thread is still here. Maybe I'll be the last post.
