This house hunt is officially making me C*R*A*Z*Y!!!
We have the mortgage stuff all ready to go...we just need to find THE house!
First we had realtor issues. I fired our first realtor. Our new realtor is much better. =)
Then we wanted to see 3 houses in our immediate area, but the houses were already contingent (meaning seller already accepted an offer.) We spoke with our realtor, and they told us that this area is booming. Also it is a sellers market here. There is no negotiating at all. She had a client offer 290 on a house listed at 295. They had 12 other offers for the full amount.
We decided to expand our search area. We found a very nice house that we LOVE! 2 big issues with it...it's a short sale and it's further away from all of our activities, church, etc.
Yesterday we saw a very nice house that's a foreclosure. It was nice, but just not as nice as the first one. However, it was closer and foreclosures are not supposed to be as hard to work with.
We feel pressured to make a decision because the houses are selling so fast. The houses in the home sub that we would love to live in sold in 3-5 days. So on one hand I hate to wait knowing we LOVE the house, but I'd love to stay open/available so if a house comes up in this area we can put an offer in right away.
So now we are in this decision making limbo area. I'm truly stumped! OY!
