House Update

Well there was great news this week, but I didn't have a chance to post our announcement b/c I was busy being a ghost blogger for the Schmidts and having lots of fun taking and editing pictures of the twins.

So mid-week this week we found out that the bank had given us an offer that we could accept and the house was ours! We were happy with the changes they made and ready to move forward. We're actually using the Bank's builder b/c they were comfortable with him and actually we're going to be getting some additional upgrades that we weren't planning on. :) We needed to take the contract to a lawyer to make sure that we were comfy with all that was in it. We were really excited!

Then, last night around 5pm we got a call from Rich (our realtor) that the bank had withdrawn its offer! The board members for that property met and some of them wanted more money. So, in a very nontraditional practice, they withdrew the offer and said they wanted 25K more.

That's not going to float with us, but the bank's realtor and builder is not pleased and meetings were going to be taking place last night and this weekend to try and make a last ditch effort. Please be praying that our buyer is patient and can wait a few more days. We just don't want to lose the sale of our house.

Hopefully we'll have the final word soon.
