We made an offer, she countered, we countered back, she came back down a little more and we're accepting. It's 5K more than our last counteroffer, but she will not budge and we don't want to lose this house over 5K. So, assuming all goes well with a closing, i think we're going to be homeowners!!!

After apartment living for so many years, we're so ready for some space, and more than one floor, and grass, and a driveway, oh and my biggest source of excitement.....a washer/dryer!!!!! No more laundromat, woo hoo!!!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

It's so frustrating and it's a little more than we wanted to spend but it will be our forever house and we know we'll be so happy there.

Congrats to you too!

Congrats, its the best feeling ever. I went through the same thing. After living in an apartment for 15 years- believe me, you are going to LOVE not sharing walls!

Thanks Chat Icon Waldwick, not quite the town center feel we were going for, but we liked it the more houses we saw there so we're really happy.

Congratulations! Get ready for some stressful few weeks. We're in contract too and getting everything together is so annoying. I'm confident it will be worth it though.

We can still be neighbors...not very far from me, about 10-15 miles!
