Settlement date

Our settlement date has been set: August 21.

Waiting on the bank

Our contract has been signed by us and the seller. On Monday our realtor contacted our bank, and they will be doing the appraisal. Last Thursday our realtor said that we could be moving in within three weeks if we wanted him to rush things. That gets us in on August 10, by that estimate.

Offer Accepted

The seller didn’t accept our original offer, but we negotiated and finally reached a deal. Now we have to meet with the realtor tonight to submit the official offer. I don’t know what comes next – it’s so confusing. I seem to remember that the seller will hold it for a certain number of days to see if any other offers come in. Maybe I’m confused with something else. I’ll find out tonight. I was surprised that since we couldn’t get the parking arrangements that we originally wanted, the realtor told us they would pay for three months of parking themselves.

Soon we’ll start the adventure of mattress shopping and kitty shopping.

Made an offer

This afternoon we made an offer on a condo unit in Silver Spring. We should have the results tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted.
