Sign here, and here, and initial there.
As predicted, we’re now in the thick of it. Immediately after our last update, we did indeed get our house on the market. We had at least a dozen potential buyers just over the first weekend! It was tough to keep the house clean, live in it, and take care of Lily while all that was going on – but nice to see so much interest in the property.
Luckily, after only two weeks, we received a great offer! There was only a little bit of back and forth, and we’re now into patching up a few findings from the home inspection. The offer isn’t fully ratified yet, but was more than enough for Stephanie and I to turn our attentions to placing an offer of our own. We ultimately had to sit down and make a very tough decision between two great properties, but were very happy to present an offer on a great place off route 7100 just a few miles down the road. Incredibly, we were lucky to hear our offer was accepted with only a few very small changes!
At this point, everything truly is happening all at once. Since neither the buyer’s nor our own offer is fully ratified yet, there are several contingencies in place and we can’t really call it a done deal just yet. Hearing a “congratulations” from our agent made us feel good, though. Lots more paperwork to go, but it’s sounding like May 28th will be the big day (coinciding settlements will make for a long one).
Time to start packing!
