Home Sweet Home...Almost!

Hey there bloggy world! (Or Nicole, since she's the only person who reads this, I think). I have BIG news!

SUPER BIG!

AMAZINGLY BIG!

I put a bid in on a townhome!!!!!!!! This afternoon at 2:30!!!! (Okay, well Derek & I are technically bidding together, but he was working while I was with the realtor, so I did!)

It was exciting- nerve-racking too. It's like, you don't want to bid too high so you're out of your comfort range, but you don't want your opening bid to be so low that they just laugh at you and don't even want to hear another bid from you. So I bid 10% below their list price, which is standard rule of thumb for bidding, and then I waited.....

The realtor called! At 8:40 tonight! When Derek was over!!
She said that she spoke with the seller's realtor (so many people!) and that the sellers are "thinking it over tonight" and will be in touch tomorrow.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY DIDN'T SAY NO! I mean, they didn't say yes we like that bid either, but now comes the negotiation. I am so excited!
I will continue to update as this thing progresses- and maybe use less exclamation points!! heeheehee
Wish us luck!
