We got the keys…
May 31, 2007
After two long months, we finally got the keys to the house. We made an offer in March. We finally heard back from the seller’s bank at the beginning of May. It was about to go into foreclosure and the seller owed over $100,000 more than what we offered (and what the house appraised for). As a result the seller’s bank had to agree to the offer because they were going to have to eat a log of money on this deal. Fortunately they agreed to it, so we were able to get the keys.
The house had been vacant for several months, so when we went over there on Saturday to do some preliminary work on the house, there were a lot of weeds and other items that needed to be dealt with. We’re not moving in until the 10th of June, so we have some time to get things in order.
