House Hunt Resumes

So we recently found out that our buyer realtor was moving to D.C. so we were assigned a new one to continue our house hunt. This weekend we went and looked at a few homes. One of the homes that we looked at was one we had seen several times before. For some reason we continue to be drawn to this house. It is a 4 bedroom and a study. It is a small 4 bedroom but is in a really desirable area of town. It fits all our needs and with a few modifications over the coming years could even have everything I want. So after visiting it for the 4th time we decided that it was time that we made an offer on it. Unfortunately there might be a little foundation problem that needs to be corrected. We are including a stipulation in the contract to have the seller fix the problem. This is required in order for us to get a loan for the house. We are currently waiting for our realtor to properly prepare the contract for us to sign and officially make the offer. Hopefully by tomorrow we will have officially put an offer in and then we begin the waiting game.

We will pray that the seller will be willing to make the repairs. That might mean that next week we might be doing an inspection and see what comes of that. We are to the point of placing it in God's hands. I know that I can't predict how a seller might respond. I hope that the fact that the house has been on the market for more than a year will make him more willing to make some consessions including fixing the foundation. I pray that if that is the case that it is an easy fix for the sake of making everything easier.

Please join M. and I in praying for the appropriate outcome of this offer.
