Last week we put an offer in on a house that we both really like, and could see ourselves living in. From the 30-40 houses we already looked at, this one seems to have everything on our perfect house list including the right pricetag.
We are trying to help out the country by buying a house owned by Fannie Mae. ;) The only problem with the govt owned house is all the paperwork they need us to fill out before the sale is starting to suck. At first we were in a bidding war against another couple, we needed to sign and initial a 15 page document to put our offer in. Then we had to raise our offer because both of our offers were under the asking price and very close to each other. After we found out our offer was accepted, we had to resign the 15 page document, and are now waiting on them to sign and return it to us. Once we get it back, then we can start all the bank paperwork.
The bidding war process and the paperwork have really stressed us out. It seems like we get our part done so quickly, and then sit around and wait for days until we hear any news. Maybe it will be over tomorrow, and we will know for sure that the house is ours! As soon as it is official, pics and plans of what we are going to do will be posted.
