Funny Story...

So we have been waiting for the results of our offer on the short sale home and have been getting these weekly updates that say where our offer stands.  All while we're still looking to see if there is anything else we want to look at... and that has basically been the game for the past 3-4 weeks.

Guess what I found this week while looking at new listings!!!!  The house that we placed an offer on  was listed as a new listing $20,000 higher!

SURPRISE!!! 

A few hours later I received our weekly update saying that we have the opportunity to resubmit our offer at the new asking price. So that's stinks!  :(

This particular house was in the middle of a appraisal dispute when we placed our offer. Now that they have finally settled the dispute the value of the home has increased. This is why it is being re-listed at the higher price.

Well, now the ball is in our court.  We must decide if we want to re-submit the offer at the new asking price or if we want to let this one go and look for a new house.

I'm still not sure what we are going to do.

We are going to look at another house tonight, so we will see how this home stacks up against the one we already  placed an offer on.

Needless to say I'm a little frustrated...but it is all part of the game.  I know we will find a home eventually, it just might not be this one.....or maybe it will.... WHO KNOWS????

I'll keep you posted!
