Offer Accepted

So, YEAY! We got an offer accepted on Choice 2! We will be signing a contract in the next few days and FINALLY be in escrow.

We have not heard ANYTHING back on the other 2 houses. They are short sales. Yeah, I've heard bad things about the "short sale" process and only 1 in 5 actually gets the house they put an offer in. This happens because 1. the bank takes FOREVER, up to 6 months, so people usually move on by then and 2. you never know if your offer is good enough, because the listing agent does not usually list the house at the bank approved price, the list for lower to get more offers in. It's been a hassle just trying to get the offer in. We put in the offer 3 weeks ago and haven't heard a peep since. We actually thought since house #1 was set to go into forclosure 2/23, they would move faster, but that has not been the case. It's like in limbo. Anyways, if, by some miracle, we get acceptance on house #1 in the next few days, we have also moved on. =P

But that's okay...we really like this house. I can't wait to get into it, paint it, furnish it and make it uniquely ours.

My mom's all excited and is going to fly out on my birthday to come visit.
