So the super cute house that we thought we bought last week. . . well we are not getting it after all. We had the home inspection done on it and there were all kinds of electrical, and plumbing issues that needed to be fixed. Not a huge problem, except that the people refused to do any of the $8,000 worth of work that needed to be done, and refused to credit us that money from the price of the house so we could fix it. Their excuse "it's an old house" our response "then sell it like an old house and cut the price." They didn't like that so we cancelled escrow yesterday. Lame.
But we did put in an offer on another house last night. It's a 3 and 2 and about the same size, nice big yard, no pool, but there is a jacuzzi. Here's the weird part, it's 4 houses down from my parents! It's been on the market for a while and we saw the sign everytime we came and went but didn't even look at it because it was so close and we thought it might be weird. And it was pending, but fell out of escrow monday, right when things were falling apart with our house. It all just kinda fell into place. The owners want out quickly because they already have a new house that they were supposed to move into 2 weeks ago, so assuming they accept our offer today(which they probably will) we will still be able to move in the 29th of June. Cross your fingers for us!

Oh Sad about your house :( So are you excited to be closer to your parents? that would be tough for us!
Hey I tried to call you guys today.. Nex time! Love you sis
Wow! Only 4 homes away. Still, it is always nice to have you own place. Good luck with the move!
I was wondering what happened with that house. I had heard it needed work, but wasn't sure if they ever lowered the price for you. Glad you found another house...even though its close to your parents, its still your own space. So, good luck and I'm crossing my fingers!
Brittany, you need to update Andi's page. I love the pictures :)
