It's Ours!!

Hey, we got the house on Blondeaux! Pending financing and home inspection.

We put in an offer on Friday, expiring Sat at 11pm. We offered for $50,000 less than asking. They countered with too high, we countered again going up by $11,000, they said no.

We thought, 'ok, end of story for now, we'll wait and see if there are any other offers, or see what else is out there'

Richard then met with our realtor today, who said he had talked to their realtor and to increase our offer by $1,000 and see what they did. I don't really understand all of how this goes down in real estate-they talk to their realtor, we talk to ours, the realtors talk to each other. At times, it seems like the realtors are interpreters of their clients...'yes, it's true they refused your offer, but they really will accept it if you make them feel better'. 'yes, it's true they asked too low, but they aren't bad people'

I think working in psychiatry is much easier.

We take possession January 28, so feel free to come out and help us move.

Or feel free to come visit afterwards and you can stare at the kitchen with me.
