This will be a quick post because I'm very tired. I have a lot of admiration for single parents and those who have a spouse that travels frequently for work or is overseas fighting. Being a single parent is hard work and exhausting!
I wanted to let you all know the latest on the house. Our house was listed on Thursday afternoon even though the sign went up on Tuesday. It took a little time to get the pictures and everything up on MLS. Four hours later we had the first showing. On Friday we had three more showings and two offers. On Saturday we had 5 showings and we countered the first offer. The couple countered back Saturday night and we made one final counter late Saturday night. Sunday at noon was the deadline to hear from them before we moved onto the next offer. Shortly after 12:00 on Sunday I got word from our realtor that couple A accepted our offer. Wow! We are now in the option period.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) morning from 11-1 the home inspection will take place. I'm dreading the inspection. As a buyer, the home inspection is great because you get to see what you're buying. As a seller, you dread it because you have no idea what issues your house has or what the buyer will ask you to take care of. So, I'm praying that no major issues are discovered and that any negotiations will go smoothly. Our realtor said we most likely wouldn't hear anything for a day or two as the couple looks over the home inspector's report. Hopefully we'll hear something from them either Thursday or Friday. The option period is up on Tuesday.
On the upside, our realtor heard from the realtor of couple B today and they are still interested and wanted to let us know that their offer is still on the table. So we do have a backup offer if this first offer should fall through.
