Just to clarify, because re-reading what I wrote, it's not clear: in my earlier post, "ASKING" referred to asking for this house. The other THs are closing at something like 97-100% of their asking prices, but at the same time, asking was lower on all of but one them to begin with. It was really hard to figure out what to make for our initial offer because of that. And you don't think of foreclosures as being overpriced!
I just mentioned to DH another house that's listed on the MLS... turns out that he hasn't even looked at any real estate website since we first talked about putting in the offer. I'm worried that he's going to take it hard if the bank does walk.

I had to order a couple of additional curtains for our bedroom (ended up needing more material for one set of windows). I wanted to order the bedding today since that's the last thing to do for the bedroom, but it's on backorder at West Elm. Grr!
Oh, and can I just vent a little about matching paint? There were 4 rooms for which I needed to match paint. The homeowner could not remember the names of the paint--just that she thought they were from the Bejamin Moore historical series. I have since bought 10 pints of paint trying to match these colors. And I have literally hudreds of paint swatches at home. I successfully matched one color exactly--that was like winning the lottery. The other color came close enough to let it go. But there are two colors for which I can't seem to get a close match. I'm not ready to throw in the towel and repaint the rooms yet, but I'm almost there.
