Putting An Offer In

Today I went to see two homes for sale. The first one looked good on the outside but became a bit of a nightmare as we discovered that the basement entrance was in the garage. Then there was so much water seeping into the basement from the exterior that we couldn’t really be optimistic.

The second house I didn’t think had a basement but it did. The second house was amazing and needed no work except for minor modern cosmetics. The home was truly move-in ready and at a great price. I decided to put in an offer right away. They were having an open house the next afternoon. The selling agent will probably wait until after the open house to present offers to the seller. I think I went in as high as I comfortably could in order to be competitive in this current seller’s market. I went through the offer paperwork over the phone and signed electronically. The nice thing is my parents saw the house with me. Previously scheduled to view another house that I intended to make an offer on, my parents decided to tag along on my other showings.

Crossing my fingers that I can get an accepted offer without it becoming a bidding war. We shall see! Meanwhile, I’m in nostalgia mode with my current apartment that I’ve lived in for three years. Experiencing the sunrise every morning and having an open concept and high ceiling living area. I might have more furniture than I can fit in the potential house. My apartment is roughly the same square footage but with less walls.
