We are on the hunt. for a house. And it is rough!
Our very nice Realtor, Mary, told us for our price range and our situation the market is rough, limited, and competitive. And boy is that true.
This past week we found the PERFECT, absolute, PERFECT house. The first one we both walked into loved, AND felt we could live there and start to raise our family. So a couple days later we put in an offer. 2 other offers went in with ours. We were up against TWO other offers!! THREE offers on ONE house!! CRAZY! The house was going to $109,000. We offered $105,000. The owners came back the next day said two offers were the same and one offer was different, give us another offer. So they gave all three of us a chance to offer higher. Very smart on their part, with as many as were offering. So we offered $109,500. $500 MORE then the asking price. And we still got out bid. At first I was a little upset, I loved that house. All we would have to change was the purple paint in the other two bedrooms.
But the Lord has other plans and He knows there is something BETTER for us. We just have to find it.
Good luck! There is another one out there you will love even more!
ReplyDeleteWe went through that too on a few homes. We prayed about it and felt like we aren't supposed to buy a home in Texas. You are right, the Lord has a plan for you and he'll lead you to that perfect home. Good luck. BTW there is a cute house for sale down the road from Emily.
