Big news!

Today we had planned to look at 5 places. Three were conditionally sold yesterday. However, it seemed to matter not.

Remember our 2nd viewing. We were impressed by the listing, and the house showed the same - no surprises.

We were very impressed. After talking to the realtor (who felt good about the place too) he decided to talk to the realtor of the place and see what was going on.
You see, this place has a 72 hour special sale. That means that another couple put in an offer with the condition that they need to sell their place first. That was before Christmas. But there is a 72 hour clause. That means that if someone else puts an offer on the house the original offer has 72 hours to drop their conditions and buy - or say no and walk away and the second offer buys the house.

After talking to the other realtor he felt very positive about the situation and about how we should proceed if we wanted to make an offer... So we did! We put an offer in on a house.
I just wanna say that again - we put an offer in on a house.
And wait...
They accepted the offer (subject to financing, subject to home inspection and subject to the 72 house accept/reject of the other offer)!!!!!

So we may have bought a house today! We do have to wait to hear from the other people - if they say yes then it is over. But if they say no - it is also over, but we get the house!

We must be calm. There is still time for this to go out the window. So we will relax and let you know!
