What a whirlwind of a week! House listed Monday, under contract Tuesday (closing date of April 15th), and trying to find houses to look at the rest of the week! We love the house in The Woods at West Valley, but want to look at others to be certain there aren't any others we like better. We want to make an informed decision since we will NOT be doing this again for a looooong time! The couple that bought our house work for the FBI...both of them!
The inspection on our house is this coming Monday. We were planning on going with our realtor to look and other houses this weekend, get the results of our home inspection Monday, and then make an offer on a new home early next week.
Today Melissa (our realtor) called and said that a man was going to make a cash offer on the home in The Woods at West Valley today. Soooo, our original plans changed and we went and looked at 3 other houses this afternoon and decided to go ahead and make an offer for the house that started all of this madness :) We proposed a close date of April 8th (a week before we close on our house).
That home is currently owned by a relocation company (the family moved with a job and a relocation company purchased it when they moved). Melissa said it's usually easier dealing with a relocation company because they will negotiate more and aren't attached to the property like the former homeowners would be, so it's easier to get a better deal. They closed at 5p today and won't be back till Monday. We asked to know about our offer by 5p on Monday (2/28/11), so right now it's a waiting game. We do have some back up houses we liked, but are really hoping we get this house. It is definitely a home I can picture us living in for a long time!
Tomorrow I've got a Willow House party and then Sunday we are hosting another baby shower. Never a dull moment!
