I've had better weekends

Best wishes for a successful closing. The place looks amazing. Buying a home is one of the most stressful events of your life and then it was compounded with other stressful events!! Breathe!!! Not too much though - then you will just hyperventilate and we don't want that. Once this is all done and you are settled in your new home you will laugh at what led up to your closing - OK, maybe not laugh but you'll be glad it's over. Enjoy!!!

Wow. Talk about some nasty luck.

Hey! It's got to get better, right?

Let's hope the house deal goes through this time! :hug:

I'm SO sorry you had a crummy weekend...but they say, it comes in 3's, so look at it this way, your DONE! The house thing I KNEW was meant to be, I just knew it Mark. I swear by THE SECRET, it's an amazing book, read it. Send out POSITIVE thoughts, see you guys IN the house, it's yours. And the rest of us, we'll just send some pixie dust your way! :wizard:

Stop kvetching Right now!!!!!

I agree, I am always amazed at real estate prices elsewhere.
my friend is selling her condo in the burbs and buying one in Boston and the prices she is telling me when she is looking makes my head spin.

Step back Mr Z and look at that ticket story.
It's kinda dippy blonde funny.
I should know.

it is funny although at the time its not, missing the show and all.

sorry our weekend was bad, but look at it this way, things have to get better now right?

Sorry you had a bad weekend, your now due for some good karma.

I too washed my cell phone and was so irritated I had to get a new one, but luckily I was available for a new contract, phone promotion offer. Now I constantly check my pockets whenever I do laundry, swim in a pool or the ocean.

The house your trying to get is really nice, I hope you guys get it. I am always looking myself for something nice like that, but in the Orlando area.

Best of Luck !

Finally had a chance to look at the photos of the house. Nice place! I can see why you want it. Sending some more good wishes for it to happen. ::yes::

I didn't want to be insensitive, but I was thinking the same thing!!! That's a heck of a lot for the money!!!

zeitzeuge, sorry you had a crappy weekend. Hopefully things are getting better! Gorgeous house by the way! I'd have my heart set on it too!!

zeitzeuge · Aug 12, 2009

Continued thanks to everyone! We're still waiting for Aug 23rd to roll around, to know 100% yes or no. Even then, we've decided to keep looking as to not put all of our eggs in one basket.

Hope you get the house - it's beautiful. Can't get that around here for less than 300K. Panic attacks are terrible. My sisters and I all suffer from them on occasion. Good luck!

zeitzeuge · Aug 15, 2009

Thanks! We've actually decided against that house due to small bedrooms and no storage. We were so caught up in how beautiful it was, that we didn't pay attention. Our other choice, we're putting in an offer this weekend. It's 2400 sq feet, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, two living rooms, huge landscaped yard, and enormous attic storage. And 20K less! We hit the jackpot with this one.

Hey! Good luck with the new house offer. :thumbsup2

Will send good wishes that this one goes through for you. ::yes::

sirJeffrey90 · Aug 16, 2009

ouch that is an awful week...I'd be biting metal.

House buying seems so exciting. My friend was reading a book called "House Buying For Dummies" and now I want to start saving for a house. And your prices are SO low. Here houses are...well, NOT selling, for upwards of 1 mil. Absolutely disgusting! Hope it all works out!!!

zeitzeuge · Aug 17, 2009

We came in with a lower offer then asking and they took the bait.
They counteroffered slightly with lower seller paid closing costs, so we just upped the sales price we offered the same amount.

Which we're told they'll accept.

Woohoo!
