Time to celebrate! We just accepted an offer on our house!

Just under three weeks on the market and 4 total showings we accepted an offer on our house today.  97.5% of asking (includes us paying closing costs for them) and closing on May 30th! The offer is pending finance and inspection so there is time for the deal to fall apart so I am trying to keep my head on straight.  

We went house hunting again today and we are 95% ready to make an offer.  We are going to look at one more house and we are going to try to get information from the seller of the house we want to buy.  He is an investor and has been making improvements (new carpet, new backsplash, new stove) and we want to see what else he is planning on doing before putting in an offer.  The house is currently empty, so we should be able to do a 30 day closing and be out of this house a few days before closing so the buyer can move right in.

So anyone looking for a reason to drink, open up a bottle of wine and celebrate with me!  :)

  • Awesome!  I knew things would work out for you.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Congratulations!  I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

  • Yay!  Good luck!
  • @CMGragain the negotiations were quick and pretty painless.  We all wanted to get this wrapped up tonight so we could enjoy Easter.  We received the offer at 7:00 this evening and negotiations were over by 9:00.

    The first offer was low (especially considering they wanted us to pay closing costs) but we all kept our heads on the end goal and the agents kept everything moving quickly.

    I bought this place 4 years ago and the inspection was fairly clean then and the seller fixed everything.  I've kept the maintenance up, so it should come back okay.  Fingers crossed!
