Wow, buying a house sure is frustrating! First we find one we really like, get an accepted offer, but then have a terrible inspection. Then the hunting really begins.
We have looked at quite a few homes over the last week or so and we found one we are totally in love with. Biggest downfall, it's a short sale. Of course! For those who don't know how the process is with a short sale... there is nothing "short" about it. We really love the house though and if we can get a good price for it we are willing to wait it out. So we met with our realtor last night and put in an offer. Now we wait to hear from the owner of the house and if she accepts it moves onto the bank where we wait for them to accept or decline our offer. This can take a long time....
On the plus side, the seller is very motivated to get it off her hands and she has already started the process on her end so she is a bit ahead of the game.
Please keep your fingers crossed for us that this works out. So far the closing date should be on or before May 31st. It's going to be a long wait...
Some info on the house: It's two stories and around 2200 sq. ft. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs, first floor laundry (yay!!), a very nice and large kitchen, living room and half bath on the main level. The basement is finished with another bedroom and family/rec room. It is also nearly a half acre lot, so lots of room for the kids to run around.
