Hey - long time no blog - I know...but I've got a good reason!
WE SOLD OUR HOUSE AND WE HAVE TO MOVE OUT IN THREE WEEKS!
(breath)
AND WE DON'T HAVE A HOUSE IN MIND TO BUY BECAUSE WE WEREN'T LOOKING BECAUSE WE DIDN'T THINK OURS WOULD SELL SO QUICKLY IN THIS MARKET AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMETHING WE COULDN'T HAVE!
(breath)
SO WE MAY BE HOMELESS!
Okay - so not exactly homeless because we can always rent...but really who wants to move twice! The neighborhood that we would like to move into has lots of old homes with unique and deal-breaking possibilities (foundation problems, sewer problems, asphetos problems, crack house next door problems, etc.). Yet, with that said, this is where we want to live and are willing to wait for the just the right house! We've already looked at 15+ homes in the last 48 hours since we need to put an offer on a house this week if we have any chance of closing when we close on our house. We are looking at one more for sale by owner today...and if it isn't the one...we'll probably be renting! So we are SUPER EXCITED that our house is under contract at a price that leaves significant profit for us - giving us the ability to put down 10% on a decent house.
So there's the quick and dirty update - babies cry - lunch to pack - and house to see at noon!

WOW!!! Praise God! Such good news about your house selling so quickly. I'll be praying that you find the right one to move into...and fast!
Congrats on the house sale. You'll find the perfect house at the perfect time, I'm sure. Let us know if you need help moving, etc.
