House Hunt Success: Our Dream Home is Finally Ours!

[fruit76loop]

Hello everyone!

I feel like I have dropped off the face of the earth, this is the first night I have been on here in 2 or maybe even 3 weeks!!!

For those of you who know about our "house hunt"....well...we GOT ITTT!!! I am so excited! We will be closing June 30th! Gonna love it!! about 2 times the square footage we have now!

It is so crazy how I found this house...I was delivering Pampered Chef in the neighborhood and saw a "for sale by owner" sign...called on it...got the basics...how many bedrooms, baths, square footage, and price! Went to look at it that night and we fell in love with it! Made an offer, then a counter offer and it got accepted! We were the first people to call about the house, and the first one to see it! In our huge boom right now...I am amazed at how fortunate I was to be delivering products in that neighborhood!

And with our loan...I will be able to call this a Pampered Chef house! Yes, I will be making the house payments with my checks!!! AMAZING!!!

When we made the offer, it had a contingency that we had to sell our mobile home....I was so worried about this...thinking someone would steal the house from us before we could list our mobile home!! But, I called to list it...made an appointment Tuesday morning...got a call later Monday from the realtor requesting a showing...when I went in Tuesday to list the trailer, I got the offer and accepted it right then and there!! (it was exactly what we were asking!!)

This was meant to be!! So excited, I had to share with you all!!

Only thing I am worried about is the June 30th closing...then packing for conference 2 weeks later!! I have already crossed out the last week of June to pack and I have crossed out the first week of July to unpack...hope that is enough time to get everything in order!!!!

Well...I am off! Have a good night everyone!

Congrats!! How exciting! We were blessed with our house too.. Very easy closing, everything just fell into place, and it truly felt like it was meant to be! Now I can't imagine being anywhere else. It's funny, I still walk thru it sometimes and think, wow, I can't believe this is ours

Have fun packing/unpacking, and mentally placing furniture, etc!!!!

How exciting, I am very happy for you and happy to have you back!

I must add that I was a bit bummed when I read your post though, I thought I was getting something too since you said "we"

That's great Marlene!! You'll have to share some pictures when you get all settled in. That's so neat!!

Congrats, Marlene!!!!
2 weeks to pack and unpack is plenty of time with moving within the same area!! Trust me, you just have to force yourself to do it, and that is plenty of time!!! I have done it enough, I know what I am talking about!!!

New houses are always so exciting!! Especially if you are making the house payments with your paychecks!! That was so nice of PC to buy you a new home!!! LOL

Awesome for you I'm hoping for the same excitement in the next 6 months or so.....

It does sound like it's meant to be!
