As long as this post is... this is the short story:

Last Wednesday (July 21, 2010) we went house hunting.
My House was listed for sale Thursday.
An offer was being drafted Friday.
Viewed more houses Saturday.
We had around 11 viewings (more were coming in... but our realtor put a halt on showing while the offer was on the table)
Heard the offer Sunday and accepted. The buyer made a reasonable offer... no back and forth garbage was required.
Betsy and I had an idea of some houses we would like to buy.
Yesterday (Monday), put an offer in on our number 1 pick, a new build. Today they returned the offer at their list price and still wouldn't give nothing at all... no appliance, no credit at any stores etc.. like you often see with other builders. We did say we weren't paying more when we made the offer so we walked.
Today we put an offer in on number 2 pick. ... really though, number 1 and 2 were basically the same. Both awesome for their own reasons and both the same price. It was real difficult to pick a number 1 or 2. This one was a couple years old, but still new enough. Lots more was done. We put in our offer at around 5:15pm with a 9pm deadline. They countered around 7:20pm with an 11pm deadline (verbal first to avoid excess paper) we adjusted one little thing, done. We were on our way home around 9:30 with an agreement to buy the house!

Now, to get all the little conditions out of the way and make everything 100% official! Crossed Fingers

Congrats on the new home !!!!

Congrats! So where are you moving?

^^I hear that some people call it Strathvegas. Not sure why.

Anyway, I'm around for the summer. Its a Sept closing date. Guess I still need to drive for a few months.

I've got my double garage now! wish it was just one large door, but double doors will do fine.

I tried to borrow Nick's truck one day. He made up some excuse about the suspension falling off or something.

Me thinks he just doesn't want to lend it out!
