Things are looking up for us. Remember it was just last week I was detailing all our bad luck? Well, I am happy to report that I have good news this week!
We have a ratified contract! It was really quite amazing; and I know how silly this sounds, but I think this time we just got lucky. We had no reason to believe this offer would work out. The house was bigger and more expensive than those we've looked at. So there was no way we could offer the asking price. We figured, what the hey, let's give it a whirl. What's the worst that could happen? They reject our offer? Been there. Done that.
The home inspection is today, and we are holding our breath that everything looks okay. Please keep your fingers crossed!
