Monkey and I placed an offer on another house yesterday, just three houses down from the previous house. We agreed not to talk about it, blog about it, speculate about it, draw pictures of it, imagine Ripken running around inside of it, or even contemplate the possibility that our offer would be accepted. We were still feeling pretty burnt from the previous Flip This House debacle.
On our way to the Great Sushi Disappointment of 2007, we got a call from our realtor telling us that the selling agent had contacted all other realtors who had shown the house to let them know that an offer had been made on the house. Another offer was being made by someone who had been on the fence previously. Monkey and I were initially angry, but we mellowed out quickly and decided that we weren't goning to get this one either. We were prepared to make another offer on another house today.
So, it was a double whammy yesterday, as we experienced crummy sushi-ness on top of expecting the worst in real estate-ness. All of which equals crappy-ness.
This morning, we got the call. Our offer was ACCEPTED! We will soon own a house. This is awesome in all the possible ways that awesome can be awesome.
More later....
