I swear, this whole thing will not end. We walked away from the 30% loan and were planning to just wait until the condo sells and see what the market is like in a couple months. Now the sellers came back and want to know if we'd be interested in renting the house until the condo sells. Oh, and can we move in on the 30th?
Arrrgh. Every time I think we've moved on something sucks us back to this house. This could be an ideal situation. We love the house, we wouldn't have to sink all our liquid cash to get it, and we'd have a few months of at a lower payment. Also we wouldn't be stuck here for another 3-6 months, which is a huge plus.
But I'm not kidding when I said I'd already moved on. I've been looking at other properties online and had resigned myself to the idea of buying something a little cheaper and less nice, then doing the updates our way over the next few years. I feel like I should be jumping for joy over the fact that this offer is still on the table, but I'm just...not.
I also have this (really, completely) irrational worry that once we're in the house we'll realize that the washing machine in the garage thing really should have been a dealbreaker, and then we'll be bound to a sale that hasn't happened yet.
Keep in mind I'm horrible at making huge decisions without having irrational doubts. I was one of those girls who agonized and lost sleep after my wedding dress was ordered because I'd gotten it in ivory and thought maybe I really should have picked white.
