So............last night we signed our papers and bought a house! Escrow starts today, can you beleive it!? After hearing so many horror stories about people putting in 18 offers, or looking for 8 months, I thought "we are doomed"! However, our realtor found us a really cute newer home on the north east of town by the Levy/River that an older couple was selling so they could move to a retirement community.
Tuesday morning the sellers had their caravan at the house for the agents to see it, then Tuesday at noon my dad & I saw it with our realtor, loved it, so brought Caleb back Tuesday at 4. Tuesday night we wrote an offer.....Wednesday night it was accepted by the seller! All of this happened before the house even hit the MLS market online and before a "For Sale" sign hit the front yard. We are so blessed to have scooped this up!
Escrow is set to close mid-march so we have a bit of time to get ready. Thankfully, the house is in such great condition that it is move in ready and all we have to do is things that we want to do, not need to do. Change paint colors, things like that.
We are so excited!!!!
I have some pics but they aren't that good so I'll take better ones soon and post them.
I still can't beleive how fast this happend, thank you God!
