Back in the Game!

First off- I apologize for taking so long to update.  I left you hanging saying we were looking at a house that night- then didn't update for two weeks! So I am very sorry- I know you were all on the edge of your seats!  :)

Anyway- we did go and look at another house and... it was awful!  Well not all of it- the neighborhood was very cute and nicely landscaped and just looked very inviting.  But the house we toured was left in shambles. Not one single room was fully furnished. I thought maybe they were in the process of moving out, but there was dirty laundry scattered about the house.... so I was a bit confused! I was also a little bit upset- because it looked so cute from the outside- but alas, looks can be deceiving!  

Cute home on the outside looks nice and spacious....

but the inside feels like this! 

But aside from the decorating and laundry issues there were cracks in the ceiling and holes in the walls.  And the actual layout of the home made it feel small and almost like an apartment instead of a single family home. So we have elected to just forget about this home!

Actually seeing this home encouraged us to raise the offer on the short sale home we previously offered on (this was the home that was re-listed at the higher price).  We re-submitted our offer and are now awaiting their response once again.  So we are back in a waiting game!

We re-submitted our offer two weeks ago and have gone back to our weekly email updates which so far have told us there is a 1-2 week delay, which we are in the second week of- meaning we should hear something next week. So until next week fingers crossed....
