Think we sold our house

Think we sold our house
  • Well, I think we finally did it.  Yesterday morning people came by and looked at the house, made a cash offer within 2 hrs....... seven days 'til closing..... we asked for 30 days lease back since we can't just up and move with all the animals and no place to go.  Keep your fingers crossed it goes through.  I'm about to start packing.  Sad that we are selling it for what it sold for brand new about 6 yrs. ago and that we bought it for about $300,000 more than we're selling it for 5 yrs ago plus we put in hardwood floors, granite, tile, fenced the property, put in landscaping, hardscape, pool and won't be getting anything for that.  We'll be back to square one BUT we'll be out of this HOA hell and can start getting our sanity back, hopefully with better neighbors.  Bittersweet, I guess.  A combination of the economy and the HOA that made it go bad for us.  At least we are both well employed, have each other, the kids are good and we're getting twice as much property!
  • Did the sell go through?
  • Nope, it got kind of weird.  They came by and wanted to go through the house to verify what was staying.  After they signed papers agreeing to price and such, they started sending amendments demanding other things on the property like a outdoor movie screen frame my husband made and wanting us to paint the house.  We said No and they backed out.
     
    Then we received another offer and we're in escrow.  Funny thing is, the other night the original buyer's realtor called and wanted to put in another offer and was shocked that we were in escrow.  So, we're keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes through.
     
    We close on the house we're buying next Tuesday!  Bigger horse property, here we come!
     
    Thanks for asking ':)'
  • I'm so excited for you dana.  You be sure to take pictures for us!  Can you believe the horses will be right in your own back yard?  I think drylot with run-in and water, then crossfence the rest including your yard as part of your grazing. ':)'
    Hopefully your monster-horse will stay in.  What kind of road are you on?  Busy?
