The past few days have been a bit of a whirlwind. Long story made short, I put an offer on a house today. Yes, you read that correctly. I put an offer on a house. This was not expected or planned at all prior to this past week, but it happened. I'm simultaneously both super excited and super nervous about it. I put an offer on a house! That sounds ridiculous.
We had not been planning to start seriously looking for houses until the late fall or winter, but in the last week we found a really great house in our current area of town (the North Valley, which we love), and it was just too good of a deal to pass up. A really, very fantastic house with tons of character. It's a short sale situation, which means the process could take a number of months due to paperwork and dealings with the bank, so there will be a lot of waiting. And of course there's no guarantee that the bank will accept our offer on the house, or even come back with a number that is doable. But we're optimistic.
I don't want to jinx anything so I'll hold off on the details for now, but my fingers are crossed tightly. Everybody should think positive thoughts of brick floors and adobe fireplaces for us!
