What a weekend

Sunday December 6, 2009 - We have learned that selling and buying a house is so much more stressful than we could have ever imagined. We found out Friday, to every one's surprise, that the sellers of the "new" house got another offer without a contingency. What this means for us is that we have until Tuesday to either sell our house and take the contingency off of our contract with them or walk away. It is looking like we will have to walk away. I have really been set on this house so it is a little heart breaking for us, but what else can we do. We did go out and look at houses on Friday. One we did not like at all and another was nice but in a totally different school district. I am having a very hard time with the idea of pulling Dylan out of the school he is in. So we will keep looking.

We have found another house that we want to look at. It is a foreclosure and it was a model home that was not lived in very long at all. It should be in fairly decent shape (except for the grass that did not get watered at all this summer). The house is not even on the market yet so our realtor is going to call the bank that owns it tomorrow and find out when we can look at it and the timeline for purchase. It is not as big as the other house but does have a large bonus room upstairs. So it is 1 and 1/2 stories. The kids LOVE the idea of having stairs.

We will see what happens. We still hope we can still sell ours soon so that when we do find something else that we like we can jump. I hope you have all had a good weekend and have a great week.
