Hey everyone!
As many of you know, my house hunting has not gone very well. But my boyfriend recently got apromotion (and a very nice salary increase) which allowed us to be a little more flexible with our finances. He is currently paying for my schooling, so we were going to cut back a little on the house. Well after countless examination of our fianances, we figured we could spent more on the house (we want to ensure a good resale value). In any case a jewel of a house dropped in our lap. It was only on the market for ONE DAY before it was sold. However, the guy that bought it hasn''t been able to get financing. Technically he has until 12:00 tonight to come through with the mortgage, but the listing agent spoke to the mortgage broker and said, the guy didn''t get the mortgage and he''s not getting one ANYWHERE. So make a bid, cause this house is going to fly. We put in a bid at 95% of the asking price, unfortunately it''s all we can afford. The house is listed at $30 000 under the market price because the owner''s wife died, he''s having a depression and he already bought a condo. When we went to visit, there was nothing left in the house except a little cot in the living room (it was very, very sad).
This is our starter home but what a beauty!! Some of the stuff in it:
- 5 large bedrooms
- 2 full bathrooms (with tub and seperate shower)
- huge fully equipped wine celler
- 3 living rooms (two upstairs and one in the basement)
- totally finished basement
- an office
- the cutest fully equipped workshop (my boyfriend nearly died and went to heaven)
- a sewing room
- 6000 sq feet land (a nice size for where we live)
- built in stove, and fridge.
- built in 1977 (which is old, but younger then 1945-1957 which is all we could look at before)
AND best of all, prime real estate location. It''s in a cul-de-sac (I don''t know if it''s the same word in english) but it''s this rounded street that has no exit, so the only cars passing in it are the people that live there. The offer is being presented today at 2:00 pm. It''s very simple, if anyone else visits, and makes an offer, they will outbid us right away, and we''ll lose the house. But if by some miracle, our offer is the first one, then we have a chance
. And of course the other buyer had better not be able to whip up some miracle banking.
Ladies, I really, really need some good vibes. This is the third time we make an offer, and I hope third time is a charm! I''''m sorry if I am rambling, but I''m so excited. I really want this to work out. My boyfriend was so excited, he was shaking last night. We didn''t even get 1 hour of sleep we were up the whole night. The pricescope fairy needs to work now, because if we get this house, it''s nothing short of a MIRACLE! Thanks ladies!

k, since no one is blasting me for busting the budget. I''m doing it. Final visit tonight, sign the paper''s at around 9:00 tonight. Forget principles... they just complicate life. My mom is going to see it with me again just to be 100% sure that it''s good. Still don''t know what I''m going to do with the space, but I''ll setup a shrine to pricescope or something
