FI and I bid on a house on Friday. Yay! But apparently the bank isn't even looking at offers until later this week (Wednesday or Friday).

Wehhh.

    Hang in there! House hunting and bidding were not a fun experience for me, so I feel your pain. It's annoying for it to be such an everyday mundane thing for realtors, banks, brokers, etc (because it is) and you're stuck waiting out such a big decision in your life.

    Fingers crossed for you!!

    Ugh, I know. Especially because around here, in my price range, I'm also competing with investors who are going to flip the place for another $50k, putting the house firmly out of my range. How about just let some of us middle class people have our nice, middle of the road houses, huh?

    Good luck! We're house hunting as well (bid accepted, inspection done, got the appraiser in this week). I hate people who say house hunting is fun. This has been anti-fun. Being in the house will be fun, the process is miserable.

    Plus side: Realtor sent an email to let us know the owner acknowledged receiving the offer, with the subject "now we wait." I sent her the above image as a response. She says back "OMG that is my favorite movie (and I hate waiting too)." I think I will keep her.

    If the house you bid on is bank owned (as in repossessed) it can take a very long time to finalize a contract.  The bank will often wait for better offers before they decide.  When my DD and son-in-law bought their house last summer, they didn't have the flexibility to wait for this, so they only looked at owner-occupied homes.  Didn't your agent explain this?
    Good new is that being flexible about timing can save you money!  Good luck!

    She did explain it, I am just very anxious. We have all the time in the world (our current house is owned by my mother, so there are no lease terms) but I am very excited about this possibility!

    That is an awesomely exciting possibility. FI and I bought our home and closed right before Christmas. It is such an awesome feeling. Fingers crossed for you!
