We put in an offer on one of the houses that we have been looking at and they accepted on Friday!! YAY!! We are finally on our way to being homeowners!
We let our real estate agent know on Tuesday that we were ready to submit an offer. She sent over all kinds of paperwork for us to sign, and turned in our initial offer to the sellers on Thursday morning. It wasn't hardly any time at all until they came right back, but they only came down $3,000 off the original asking price. Grant and I were starting to get nervous that we wouldn't get the house, because they wouldn't be willing to come down enough and meet us in the middle. So, we thought we would go ahead and make a second offer and just see what they said. Surprisingly they countered back again coming down an additional almost $9K! This put us right where we wanted to be and we said we would take it!! We signed our paper work and got the confirmation that they signed, as well, on Friday afternoon.
As long as the inspection and everything else goes ok, we have a house! I can't believe we are going to actually own a real house!! I can't wait to decorate, have people over, have a yard, and a garage! So exciting!
Welcome to the Mathis home!
