Remember this? This is the house I'm supposed to be moving into Friday. Well, closing on at least. We got word Monday that the appraisal came thru at over $100 Grand more than our offer. Instant Equity, FABULOUS! (Not so great for paying insurance on, but still...)
We were all set to close on Friday the 15th. Happy Heart Day and all. I even had the window guy all lined up for that broken side light. But now the Seller's lawyer is waiting on some BS document, blah blah blah. Our lawyer is doing pretty good work trying to get things together. It looks like it will be a definite go next week, but it has to happen before Friday, since we're only locked into our mortgage interest rate until then.
It should not be this hard to buy a house. Especially one that has been on the market for 220 some odd days. Remember the good ole days when you called some neighbors over, hammered some nails into wood, erected a home, and then had some stew and bicuits to celebrate? Now we've got appraisals, inspections, finance guys, lawyers, agents, surveys, etc. all involved. It's CRAZY!!!
My mantra is This happens for a reason...it happens for a reason...gives us more time to sell our house...it happens for a reason...
But when you have babysitters lined up for the weekend, the kids are excited to see gramma and grampa, and you have people coming to help move a few things and unpack and clean and start priming and painting...well, it gets frustrating.
Hmph.
