The last offer that we put in did not turn out so well....moving on. Yesterday I was avoiding homework and was looking through a real estate website at some houses when I found a new listing. It looked great on the outside (no inside pictures), huge (5 bedroom, 3 bathroom), and in our price range. I yelled up to Scott to get on messenger so that I could send him the link and insisted that he call the realtor right then. I wanted to see the house ASAP - it was priced below that it was worth and it was going to go off the market fast.
We went out with the realtor this morning. The house is awesome. It is basically move in ready (wash the carpet, paint, and a new stove) and I love it. Before we left the house we had the realtor calling the selling realtor. They said that they already had multiple offers (the house was only on the market for 3 days) and they implied that they were over the asking price, which isn't surprising. The house is a foreclosure and the bank was asking less then market value because they want their money fast.
Long story shorter - we called the lender and got our bid out at 5pm this afternoon. We offered a fair bit over the asking price and our terms seem really good - so our realtor thinks that we have a good shot at it. My heart is set on this one - which is dumb...after the last one I said that I wasn't going to get attached to another house before our contract was ratified...but oh well what are you going to do.
If you would like to see the outside of the house here is the link - the info is a little off, its 3 beds upstairs and 2 downstairs but other then that I think its right.
