they countered with some minor changes… one of which is moving the closing date to july 13th (we had asked for late june due to per diem taxes) because it’s occupied by a renter whose lease is not up til july 1. the other change is they want preapproved financing within 25 days of their acceptance as opposed to 30. i have no idea why those 5 days would make a difference, but to someone they do.
so, ben’s coming over tomorrow to talk about this and write the offer again… and then we’ll be homeowners. kurt and i are both nervously excited; and a little sad that we’ll be moving out of the hood. but i have found quite a few positives, one of which is the great big yard and the garden possibilities. and the dishwasher. :)
one of the things i think helped us decide was that it’s lived in, and that made it a lot easier for me to picture our stuff in place of what was there. most of the other houses we’ve seen were vacant (save for one aside from ivy st.).
weird.
