big news update

Sorry to keep you waiting, but "big news" is a bust. Sadness.

Michael and I finally found a house that we liked and last weekend put an offer on it. As expected, the seller counter-offered, but we accepted his counter and once we put in our next offer he accepted!! yea!! Unfortunately, that is not the end of the story or else I would have good news, of course. So after we put in our second offer our realtor calls us and tells us the update. There is a third party on the title (weird, I know. Even our realtor was confused by this one), and the said third party was out of town until Monday. So the seller verbally accepted our offer and said that everything would get signed on Monday when the unknown third party gets back in town. How exciting (we thought) to get a house sooner than we expected. The house is beautiful. Completely remodeled and lots up nice upgrades that are hard to find in the homes we are looking at.

Then we get the dreaded call from our realtor. The crazy man ,and I mean REALLY crazy, selling the house accepted a different offer. What?!? The weird part is that he is going to rent the home until October to the sellers and then they will purchase it. Strange. The sellers agent was so upset with him the he emailed our agent an apology.

So, we are back on the hunt for a house.

this is exhausting.
