Of course this post is about the house situation. How boring to read post after post about the same old thing. But it's just about all I do besides work.
We were approved for an FHA loan, which is great! There's one more hurdle we have to pass, and that's to get approved for a relocation- we have to prove that it's really necessary for us to move away from our house. We have the distance from our jobs working for us, as well as the fact that we have a truck (that's almost never driven) in our name and the price of gas as another excuse.
We also found out that the comps on our future house are about $4000 lower than their asking price. So we will probably be able to offer a few thouand less than that and negotiate from there. Our realtor is also going to call the seller's realtor and see how motivated they are to sell, and that will give us a better idea of what we can start at.
So now we're just waiting. And it sucks. The one application we had fell through because they didn't pass the credit check. The other person supposedly wanting to move this week obviously didn't choose our house- yet another of our selling agent's false hopes. But we do have someone else interested, but we don't know if they put in an application or not. In the meantime, we haven't had any showings for a week, and none this weekend. I hate knowing that we're paying people to advertise our house and it seems like we're not getting anything from it.
I know it will work out in the end, but the waiting is driving me insane!
