House Update

We made an offer on a house on Monday. We didn't think that it would be accepted because we offered pretty low, but Tuesday morning our realtor sent us this text:

I just got an email from the other agent that said "I can't believe it
but they are going to accept your offer!"

Woohoo!  Happy Dance!

So, we have also been doing a lot of paperwork this week, and we did an inspection of the house on Thursday. At the inspection we discovered that the house has been smoked in. It wasn't a lot, but enough that we'll need to clean the air ducts, replace the carpets, and paint. We were bummed about that, but after doing some research we feel like we can get the smell out and be able to make the house really nice.

It's a 3,200 square foot home, 6 bed, 3 1/2 bath. It has a large backyard (hooray!) and all of the rooms are really nice sized. We want to eventually do some remodeling in the kitchen and bathrooms and update the light fixtures because they are all pretty dated. However, we'll probably do it over the next 10 years, lol! We are really excited that we'll be able to plant a garden this year. It's something we've been looking forward to for a long time.

We are very excited!

  3. Woohoo! Congratulations! Owning a home is one of the major things a family can do, so I'm very happy for you guys! I wonder why the other agent was so flabbergasted? Maybe the sellers were looking for a quick sell? Either way, it serves well for both parties, so it be all good.
