The realtor called this morning to say that the sellers had countered our offer. We expected this, so we countered at what we thought was reasonable. He called back three hours later and started talking about the weather. Naturally, this seemed to be a sign that bad news was coming. But then he proceeded to say that our offer was accepted and we now "own" a townhouse. Strange delivery method, but good news nonetheless. We're so excited.
We've got some papers to sign tomorrow and we'll need to schedule the inspection. After that, it's the appraisal. As long as those two things go well, we'll be in settlement (whatever that means) around March 16th and we'll have keys in hand April 16th. I'm fighting off the urge to pack. Nothing is really final until the bank inspects the house and deems it worthy of our loan. With the type of loan we have, they are super picky about the condition of the houses they finance. Everything appears to be in almost new condition, so we're not foreseeing any problems. Until I've got keys, though, I think I'll be hesitant. We're definitely going to begin the organizing and cleaning out process to make it easier when we're ready to pack. We've got a lot of stuff sitting in our basement not being used, so we're hoping to get rid of some things. It would be awesome if there was a nice weekend before then for a yard sale. Then again, it's still February.
It's an exciting time around here!
