They have accepted our counter offer of 206K, they pay no closing costs.   It is the same offer from before, the money is just rearranged.  They want more earnest money, fine.  I don't see why, it is money they don't see (only if we break the contract not using any of the numerous outs we have throughout the process).  We can  role most of the costs into the financing.

Now to get through inspection with minimal things wrong.  There are some shingles missing and I am hoping that is just it, no real roof damage.  The corner of the garage has some rot issues that I hope can be fixed to the satisfaction of the VA.  I want to get back in and see if I can  figure out if they floors are hardwood under the carpet. 

If not hardwood, I want to Pergo the master bedroom and take the carpet up in the master bath.  If hardwood, rip up the carpet and get the floors redone before one item comes into the upper level of the house.

We need to buy a bed and a 'fridge.  Size of the 'fridge space is funky so there is only one that will fit, a Maytag.  

We need more shelves  from Costco for the Safeway Annex.  The annex will hold most of the pantry and all our various kitchen goodies that don't get used that much.  Like cupcake pans, I think I have only used them once since moving here.  

Going to have to activate the Discover card so we can get this place cleaned.  Broken foot and all, I can't do it.  Not to mention the lifting.

Time to send more stuff to the rummage sale pile.

Not so fast

Are you sick of hearing abou the damn house hunting yet? 

Sure, they accepted the offer with the following conditions: 

Property shall be accepted "as is" with $500.00 towards any repairs found at inspection

1000.00 escrow

We do not have a remedy to go after seller for things that they knew about and didn't disclose, repair, etc.


Somebody knows something.

Not sure what we will do now.  I am so tired of this.  If I didn't hate this place so much, I would start seriously considering buying it.  It still might come down to that.  At least here, I know the floors are hardwood under the carpets, just would need to have them refinished.
