Opening Up Our Options
Well, the good news is the other *buyer* did not respond to the sellers counter offer. The selling agent thinks they had to go out of town due to a family illness but still it gave us the legal ability to place a bid if we chose to. However, we (our agent & us) spent Friday night pouring over properties until midnight and found one other house near that house that we felt we must see before placing an offer. We rushed out there at first chance Saturday morning. It's on an acre less, the house is beautiful and *Move In Ready* and the view is awesome! So we decided not to place a bid on the other house after all. We really had no idea we'd like this house better, we just thought we should look at something else before jumping into a deal. Didn't want to get into *Ebay Mode*. KWIM?We also found a few other properties that were worth looking at but would still keep us farther out in the sticks than we think we want to be, but hey, it's opening up our options. There is so much negotiating room right now that we know now is the time to buy but we are going to wait until after Hubby comes back from Taiwan at the end of the month before doing so. We spent all day today looking at some too. Yesterday's house is still the top runner. So for now we'll keep looking and continuing to get all our ducks in a row. We'd like to do this over the next few months if possible while the market is best suited to buying. Will keep you posted.
