So, we have been pretty quiet on the house tip as of late because it has not been pretty. The house was appraised for $6K less than what we had agreed on with the seller. So, the bank would not finance the entire loan.
The sellers did not want to accept $6K less and we didn't have another $6K in cash to put up. We had about $100 left. :) So we have been at a standstill for 1 week exactly. Now the seller will accept the lower bid if we come up with another $1330 in cash for closing. Also, most of the small fix it things we asked are now out and up to us.
So, I think we still get our house, but we will be borrowing money from parents and going on an involuntary diet for the month of August, sotospeak. The sellers look like they are not motivated to move anytime soon which means we will probably go the full length of escrow. (We could move by this Friday otherwise. We are halfway packed.) So, we will more than likely be moving during Kim's 3rd week back at work and my 2nd (first week with students). yikes!
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. It has been a hectic journey.
