Here's an update on the update: after going back and forth a few times with the sellers, we reached an agreement on our favorite house from all of our tours yesterday and have signed a contract! We dropped off the earnest money about an hour ago and are just waiting for the sellers to sign the contract as well. This house has an unfinished basement, which was something the husband had to talk me into. I wasn't keen on the idea of moving into a house we had to do so much work on, but I think I will love being able to make it our own. The house itself is 19 years old so we're hoping we won't run into all the issues during inspection like we did with the last house! For anyone keeping track, this is now our third offer, and I'm growing weary. We stopped at two open houses today before we heard from our realtor with their most recent offer, and I'm definitely sure that this house is the kind of house we want to be in.
The funny thing was that one of the seven we looked at yesterday was SO similar to the last house we had a contract on, but was on the very top of our price level and would need a lot more renovations. I was so sure that we had found OUR HOUSE until we saw the state of the windows and backyard... bummer. But hopefully third time is the charm and the unfinished basement house will be ours!
