We put in an offer for the house we want to get, it's adorable. It does need some work though but not big stuff; it needs some cosmetic work on the inside, we need to replace the claw foot tub with something modern and we need to get the backyard fenced in so our dog can run around and get some exercise without wandering into the neighbors yard (he's too big to go on a leash, he would definitely drag me).
We sent them an offer for the listed price (recommended by the real estate agent we're working with, who happens to be a family friend) the only thing that they would have to pay for is up to $2000 in closing fees. The house has been on the market for a year, and the people who are selling it are selling it for their mother, so you would think that they would just want to get rid of it. I can't think of any reason why they would turn the offer down, but I'm still so insanely nervous! We'll know by tomorrow for sure, but I can't stop thinking about it. We have plans for a lot of renovations to make it ours, and if they turn us down we'll be really upset and have to find another house that we like, and I don't think we'll find something else that's so perfect for us in our price range. I feel like I don't have a reason to worry, but then again I feel like I have to worry. Oh I just hope they get a hold of us today and let us know!
