Hard to believe it's already been a month and a half since our last post! Lots happening around our household lately, LOTS. Most of the time has slipped away with kids, their activities, court, work, vehicular maintenance, auctions, open houses, and just plain ol' exhaustion.
Well, the deal we had on the property is gone. <insert sniffing and boo-hooing here> We had a contingency on the property knowing that the owners could take other offers...however...we didn't really expect it to happen. I mean, it sat idle for over 6 months and the price had dropped twice before we made an offer!
Since we have to sell our place before we could buy the property, there's a lot of time, waiting...and waiting. Meanwhile, the owners of the property did receive an offer and decided to accept, but not without giving us a fair chance to move ahead with the purchase immediately. Remember when I said we had to sell our place first? Yeah, it stinks, but right now, I do NOT want to get caught with 2 mortgage payments whether I can do it or not.
That said, the other offer was accepted, we still have our home on the market, and we're back to looking for land. <heavy sigh!>
I know, it probably just wasn't meant to be and that there's something better around the corner. An adage that's been played out twice in our lives, both of which occurred when looking for our last two homes. So, not all hope is gone, it's just not visible at this time.
So sorry your land fell through. It's been a few months, anymore progress? Hope things are going well with ya'll!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Things are getting better, in fact, I REALLY need to update this, but the short of it is that we have an offer on the house and if all goes well, we close on the 11th of April. However, we're now looking for a temporary place as well as a permanent one...while packing and moving at the same time.
