Wow, things are moving fast!!! My realtor called this morning advising that there was another couple going to look at "my house" tonight for the second time and may be making an offer. We set an appointment to show Lathen at noon today. He loved it and we went ahead and made an offer!!!! We'll find out tonight if they'll accept or counter-offer or whatever! I'm so excited.
Looked at a few houses last night. I liked a couple, really liked one, and two of them smelled like "old crap" (a phrase my realtor and I came up with to describe that smell... what is it?). The one I really like has been home to a very old man who is moving to a retirement village. You can tell he took great pride in his home - he had to be one of those perfectionist people. Although the colors and carpet were dated (looked 60s to me), it was immaculately clean and had a great yard for the puppies! And.. the price is actually under our range. How bout that. I can always take up painting. Taking Lathen to see it Saturday. If he likes, we'll probably make an offer. Yea!!!
