Buying a House

No there was no time...everything went so fast! It went on the market Friday...she was the first one in Friday evening and then she went with her husband Saturday morning...by Saturday afternoon there were multiple offers and the bidding just closed a few minutes ago. She should hear sometime tomorrow what the outcome is. It's crazy! I never heard of such a thing! It was built 2000. I'll try and get some pics to post.
 
Bigger than what she was looking for but being a foreclosure it's going for less than what it would normally go for. She's not too optimistic that they will get it but we're hoping anyway. You never know.

It was listed at $399,000. With the low rates her payment will be a little less than what they are paying now. I did my initial mom talk about how it will be more costly to heat/cool and taxes are higher. Now I'm doing the supportive thing, lol. It's their decision in the end. Often times things look good on paper but life has a way of throwing curve balls. So, we will see. I just want them to be happy but I'm nervous, haha.

It's beautiful and so cheap - unbelievable !!! I hope that she manages to buy it.:up:
 
The appraiser just left daughter's house...hopefully it appraises well enough to continue with the sale of her current house. Imagine she gets a call saying she got the other house and then the sale of hers falls through...again! [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

I always have to worry about something!
 
Better luck next time, Aery!

And best of luck to your daughter, Karen!

We're going to another viewing tomorrow. I'm unsure about the details, except for the location, which seems good.

Well, it wasn't good news. She didn't get the house. I'm somewhat relieved but I won't tell her that. I can tell you guys, though. I feel bad that she's disappointed but there are a couple of open houses on Sunday.

We've just been to a viewing again. Small 2 bedroom end-of-terrace house with a small, but nice garden. Also a conservatory, a shed and a gate on the side that would allow us to park a car "off-street", which I suspect might give us a cheaper car insurance. If we had a car. The asking price is more than we can pay, though, but the agent told us they might go for a more reasonable price if only we would buy it right away, because the owners had their eyes on another house they wanted to buy.
