New House #2

While randomly searching on mls this past september, I came across this house that grabbed my heart. I knew it was a long shot. It was everything we want (reasonably everything) but the odds were not in our favor to be able to get it. Well, with prayer and trust.. We purchased our 2nd homes! Our bank guy, who we have had a very good relationship with from the first day of the first house, said that this was the quickest purchase he has ever done.

here is the time line that everything happened

August 25th 2012 - come across the house on mls

August 26th 2012- get some (inlaw) advice on if it is smart/doable/so on and so on

August 27th 2012- see the house for the first time

August 28th 2012- see the house again, put in offer

August 29th 2012- September 1st- back and forth negociating with the offer

September 2nd 2012- Offer Accepted. WE ARE UNDER CONTRACT

September 3rd 2012- September 13th 2012- waiting game

September 14th 2012- Appraisal in for sellers other house. Addendum is voided and all is wonderful

September 15th 2012 - September 26th 2012 - waiting game

September 28th 2012- Appraisal in for our house. WE ARE GOOD TO CONTINUE with purchase

October 2nd 2012- supposed to be closing day - banks computers shut down and closing on hold

October 3rd 2012- CLOSING DAY!!

October 4th 2012- October 6th 2012- seller is taking forever to move out. Aggravating!!

October 6th 2012- 8:00 at night, we have to leave wine over water- KEYS!

October 7th 2012- MOVE IN DAY

As you can see, it all happened pretty fast. The only problems we ran into was with the seller moving out. She didn't seem to understand that we wanted in out house. That it was our house now. That we couldn't cancel moving trucks and the help we got because she was having to move herself out and taking forever. UGH, but all in all it was a great process. Our agent was great, we love our bank guy, and the closing/title people were wonderful as well. 

Now, it is January 17th and we have currently not sold our other house. This could become an issue so please say a prayer, cross your fingers, and send people to buy our house. PLEASE
