Inspection scheduled for Thursday at 9.

signed, sealed, delivered.

Huzzah. I don't know what Dennis meant at the end of that last post. We accepted their offer. We're in contract!

the (newest) wait begins

Welcome to MY first post. We are deciding to go with their counter to our re-issued counter after their counter Friday. It's basically splitting the difference between ours and the most recent one they offered. Yay for happy mediums!
However (cue suspenseful organ chords).....
They had an open house today, so hopefully no one revisited or fell in love with it right away. We told Milt we will go with what they've got, and everyone had a good laugh, then went our separate ways. So we wait some more.

waiting again

We put in our counter offer after their barely changed counter offer yesterday. At our realtor's advice, we resubmitted the same offer.

They have until 7:00 Sunday evening to let us know.

...breathe

So, after waiting 21 hours for any word we found out that they might be soon making a crappy counter offer - basically the exact same amount they countered two days ago.

So I grew a really sour outlook and got mad. Oh so frustrated. Come on, I thought you were motivated to sell, right? I basically started growing bitter about it and couldn't think clearly about the situation.

Now I'm feeling better about everything again. We're waiting to see what they come up with. Basically, Milt let their realtor know that we're frustrated that we've been blown off this long and that they haven't shared with us utility costs. Hopefully that comes across in a way that lets them know they should make a good counter offer to keep us interested.

Updates will come as they happen.

Traveling? Seriously. You're selling a House! Pick up your phone when it rings!

So, word from the seller's agent, both owners are traveling separately. Well, interestingly enough, you're SELLING A HOUSE! I would think you'd maybe check with your real estate agent every once in a while to SEE IF YOUR HOUSE SOLD!

Pardon my exclamation, but it just doesn't make sense to me...

Milt says, after talking to their agent, that he'll give me a call as soon as they respond. The agent expects to hear from them tomorrow. Are they flying to Australia or something - tomorrow!

Tomorrow,
Kate

Waiting, waiting, waiting........

As my status on Gmail says "Seriously. Do you have to wait UNTIL 5 to let us know if you're accepting the offer. 5 is the deadline - you can let us know ANYTIME BEFORE!".

On a positive note, my PDA started working out of nowhere today. I guess I don't have an excuse to forget things again. It's actually a really good thing! But if this house doesn't go through, I think I'm getting the ipod touch anyway. I'll need a consolation prize.

In 15-20 minutes, you'll get a fresh update.

Peace.
