Under Contract.

Friday we went to meet with our realtor to put in an offer on the house we saw last week however he had just gotten off the phone with the seller's agent who let us know that someone else had also put in earlier that day. Go figure. The house had been on the market with no offers since January and the day we go to make an offer someone else is interested. Just our luck. Well we decide we really want the house and since the other buyer didnt know we were interested when they put in their offer we went in with our high bid hoping the other offer went in low. Saturday we get the call saying the seller countered to our offer wanting just two thousand more. Deal. We are (or will be today) officially under contract. We still need to sign the changes that the seller made but thats just a formality.

SQUEEEEEE!

I am so excited about this house. Now we just need to apply for the loan, which we have been preapproved for, and then wait. If everything goes according to plan we are looking to close mid July. Again, I am so glad the other house fell through, even if it was hard to handle then. We really liked the other house so the fact that we like this one so much more says a lot about it. In my opinion anyway. :-)
