Back in the Game?!

Well.......we thought the house journey was over but here we are still trucking along. Yes again there are new developments. Frankly I am sick of it, but my persistent husband is much more patient!

So we had made the hard decision to say good bye to the lovely house and stick with renting for the time being. Well Alec called the lender to get the paper work we needed to get us out of the offer to purchase contract we were under. The lender talked with him and offered a different scenario, although it was a long shot. She said if we could get the purchase price lower, then we could put less down. So we thought well why not, lets give it a shot at least.

So we made a counter offer (significantly less then our original) and asked for more money for closing costs. Well we knew it was a long shot.......our realtor presented the offer to the selling agent, and they accepted! Oh my goodness. Now what?!

Well now we just take baby steps and just see what happens. I have learned not to bank on anything. The appraisal is the next step, which should happen in the next day or two. Then after that hopefully we can lock things in..........again.

This is all been a pain in my butt, but I guess if we can pull this off and get the house it is all worth it. We are proceeding with caution however! Please pray that God's will be done in the situation and we feel His guidance throughout the many decisions surrounding.
