What fun...

So just as I thought our house hunting was over, Steve and I decided to go take a second look at the big house. We looked at the cost it would be to replace the upstairs bedroom carpets. We also looked at what we may be putting into it in the next few years and thought that although it needed some work and MAJOR CLEANING, the work could eventually be done over the years and that even even if we build new, the basement and landscaping would be extra, but we would not get the square footage for that price. When we went to see it today and looked past the updating, we thought it was a good, it has many extras... central air, walk in closet with ensuite, paved drive, double tiered deck, double lot, wood burning fireplace, gas fireplace in rec room.... the space was HUGE and has some cool features.

So..... we put in our offer with the condition of our home selling. We bid $5000 less than the asking price, which is reasonable and gave a little room to negotiate.

We got a call from our agent tonight and....... it wasn't accepted :-(

There was another bidder, he bid higher ( I assume over asking price) and he had no conditions.

When we arrived at the agents office she did notify us that there was another offer going in tonight as well. So it was no surprise. I certainly wasn't going to start a bidding war, and had no clue what the other guy was going to bring to the table.

I feel confident that it was meant to be and that there is a reason why that was not our home. I still love my teeny, tiny home...lol Our agent still feels we should put our home up with the condition we find something we want to buy, but in all honesty even after checking the other listings nothing is calling out to me... and putting up my house with no motivation is not really doing anything for me!!!

That was enough excitement for the day...lol. At least it's passing the time as we wait for news about the baby :-) Today marks 6 weeks in the ministry of interior. And it ***SHOULD*** take 2-4 weeks..lol It's ok thought, after spending time with her I realised something pretty big. She is worth every second of this wait and when she actually gets home I am the lucky one that will have the honor to parent her!
