So, again I prove myself to be an eternal slacker when it comes to our blog....my last post was July 10th, and BOY has a lot happened since then!
for example--two months from yesterday, we will no longer be renting!!! FINALLY!
On July 12th--we went to a showing of a house we had been (stalking), i mean, heavily interested in nearby to our current home...(oh come on, if you have bought a house you know you drove by once or twice, or ten times)
On July 17th, we saw the house for a second time with our real estate agent (who is downright fabulous btw--let us know if you are in need of a Realtor in the HR area) and put in an offer....
July 18-20th, dealt with some negotiations....and finally got everything settled out....
Officially under contract: July 23rd
Our home inspection went great, no major issues with the house, or surprises that the seller didn't already know about.....
Mortgage approved--July 27th.....
Barring any huge complications (ie, the appraisal--but we aren't worried, we got a stellar deal for the neighborhood) we should be homeowners September 28th. YAY!!!
So where is the photo of this house? Well, that is a funny story. I haven't taken one. Now that I get around to blogging about it, the listing has been taken off of the MLS website, so no picture from there either. However, my parents were in town this past weekend and so we drove by to show it to them. My dad got some pictures (Shane and I were most excited about the "under contract" sign that is now in the front yard) and is supposed to be sending them to me....it will probably be a week though, since they are in fabulous Connecticut until early next week.
