We got a house!
9 Comments Today, Michael and I went house-hunting, as the house we were looking at fell through in negotiations (the owner wanted more for it than it was worth).
We looked at three properties, two of which we’d been through before. The last one was one that we really liked before, but changed our minds when we found a couple of others we liked. It always seemed, though, that this property would always come back up as a possibility.
So we looked through this one at 11am, and decided that we’d just go for it. We put in our offer of $180,000 (the house was originally on the market for $199,000, dropped to $195,000, which was what it was when we first looked at it, and was today on the market for $189,000). They came back to us with $185,000. We offered $182,500. They said they won’t go any lower than $185,000. We discussed it, and said okay – $185,000 it is.
SO, on Monday, we’re signing the contract. We’re really excited – it’s not really sunk in yet that we’ve actually agreed on a price and we’re buying a house.

I’m so happy for you – hope all the signing and moving-in process goes well. Can’t wait to see it
