So, there were some issues with the house. First of all, it didn't appraise for what we offered. Those of you familiar with the process of buying a home know that the loan agent won't give you more than the home appraises for.
So we had to change our offer to $10,000 less than what we originally offered. And we've been worried since then that the seller wasn't going to accept it. It's been a pretty large concern of ours and we've been anxious about hearing back from the seller.
After a lot of back and forth (and even seeing our house go back on the market, which made our hearts drop), we heard back definitively from the seller.
HE SIGNED THE ADDENDUM. WE'RE BUYING THE HOUSE FOR 10K LESS THAN WHAT WE OFFERED!
I was so ecstatic last night that I had to run over and tell Uncle Pat and Aunt Wanda. It's a good deal for the house and a huge relief to Todd and I.
We're considering it an anniversary gift from the seller to us. =)
