Wish me luck, I've put an offer on a house.
Nothing final yet, and actually it's the 2nd offer, seems Citibank forgot they were given a share of $700 Billion dollars, and is nitpicking on the 9k difference between their asking price, and my first offer, so it's back in their hands.
And to Michigan SMC Mafia, it's got a huge deck, as I'm walking through a second time, I was already planning the BBQ this summer.
It's been a long trip to get this far, I've discovered just how creative real estate agents can be:
Dream Home = featured in Nightmare on Elm Street.
Needs a little TLC = typo, they meant, needs TNT, blast that eyesore off the subdivision plat maps.
Quiet neighborhood – yeah the EPA super site a ¼ mile away dissolved everyone's tongue.
Seller is anxious - yeah, the roof line has a bigger bow line than a Cavalier Wet Box.
The waiting is killing me. But hopefully, I'll be unpacking all the signs, pulling the V39 out of storage, and yelling at the neighborhood kids to stay off my lawn within a few weeks.
Sorry, it's not soda related, but I had to share. i've been holding it in to long, and maybe some good karma will come my way.

Good Luck. Nothing better than owning your own home and making those payments to get that title. One of these years i'll actually own mine free and clear.  |

Kilroy,
Good luck on the pending offer. It is a buyer's market so don't blink too soon if they counter you unless you really are dead set on the place.
The important question is:
"Does it have a Fallout Shelter?"
I'll bring the burgers for the cookout!
Congrats!
Tim

Good luck... Hope the deal goes through for you...
How long does it take to close on a house once the deal was accepted? It normally takes us in NJ 2-3 months before the closing once the deal is accepted.
