Day 7?

Heh, ok the days are blurred now.

So, our house went on the market Friday, we got the fancy shmancy signs and everything. Viewings were scheduled for Saturday. So, we went out to archery classes and then hubby and step-son went to a friends and I went to do our taxes. I got home to see that at least 5 people went through the house judging by the cards their agents left. So, not bad for a first day I thought.

Going upstairs to relax (I totally forgot to call hubby to say I was home.. oops), I played some World of Warcraft until I head the dog trying to bark himself hoarse and break the front window. I rush downstairs to see people peering in my front window. Ok? So I ask what's up and the guy says he just wanted to show his gf/wife? the house, he'd been through earlier and throught she'd like it. So, being me, I say come on in and look around... she loves the place, he tells me they're going to for sure write an offer that night. I'm thinking ok, I'll believe it when I see it.

A couple hours later the doorbell rings, and the couple is standing there again! They said they wrote an offer but my agent said he didn't have time to present it to us? Ok, so I'm thinking what the heck is going on... I told them I'd call my agent and find out... so they left again.

I gave my agent a call and he explained to me that it wasn't that he didn't have time, it was that their offer was ridiculously low and he didn't want to waste our time. So I'm not sure if they didn't understand or their agent didn't understand. So anyway, he told them to rewrite their offer if they wanted us to consider it seriously.

So, a bit later, he calls, they've rewritten for a more reasonable amount, but still low. He counters with full list price and says he'll let us know in the morning.

So, Sunday morning rolls around, he calls, they've come up a bit again on their offer, but he feels he can squeek another $1000 out of 'em. So I say go for it, if you can get them up that little bit more we'll agree. So about another hour later, we have an offer verbally accepted! By 2pm we have the offer accepted in writing, with the pendings of course!

So, theoretically, we have our house sold, barely 24 hrs after the first bunch of people went through. WOW. Now we'd better find a new house to move into :)

So, the inspection is tonight, hope that goes ok, 'cause they say they're already pre-approved for the mortgage, they just have to get official financing. The conditions are due to be off by April 4th, but if these people are as eager as they seem, I think they'll be off sooner.

This morning I called the bank to re-open our mortgage application, we'll see how that goes. We have a number from February when we thought about building, we're working with that. I should know tomorrow a better idea when the banker calls me back.

Sorry for all the so's... that's my brain itemizing... just floored how fast this went.
