Holy crap, this is starting to get real. I just put money in escrow for a house today, and I am annoyingly excited! It’s a short sale so the offer still has to be accepted by the bank, but things are looking very promising. They had been denying offers for several weeks but my agent (who happens to be my best friend) was able to sweet talk them into looking at mine. We went back and forth for a day over the contract, and everything was signed yesterday. They have an attorney working with the bank so the process has been a little less painful than most short sales.
Congratulations. It’s been almost five years since I bought mine and I still can’t believe it. It still feels like a rental until I have to fix something .
Congratulations. I bought my house about a year ago, and it’s definitely a nice feeling–both liberating and peaceful. I wish you many years of contentment in your new home.
I hope hers goes as smooth as mine did. I even ended up getting money back!! I can’t remember from where, but they said it was a pretty rare occurrence.
