I am really getting nervous over this whole house deal.
You see, our old place sold on November 4th, and if you are any good at math, then you know that the thirty day escrow is over. WAY over.
The problem is with the place we bought. When we made the offer the listing agent was getting ready to go on his second vacation in as many months. We had to wait one and a half weeks before we knew if our offer was even accepted. The people who owned the house accepted right away, but since the bank was giving them the boot, and was essentially the real seller, then we had to wait on them to give the real OK.
The bank finally accepted our offer, and since then everyone has been running around like headless chickens trying to get everything squared away. Inspections have to be made, loan docs have to be drawn up, and signatures have to be in place. All that takes a while, and that is the reason for thirty day escrows.
Right now I have a buyer who wants to move into his new home. I also have an impatient bank that wants out of the real estate business, and wants ME in their house. They have hinted that that better happen soon, or I will be looking for a NEW house. The problem there is, we got this place at such a deal that I doubt we could afford a house at current market prices. (The one we are buying we got for about $50,000.00 less than market.)
So, I have literally no fingernails left. All my stuff is packed ready to move. I just don't know if that is going to be under a new roof, or an overpass.
I so understand what you are going through. House buying and house selling are both so very stressful. I remember all too well how I felt when we bought our home. I loved it and wanted it so bad. When we finally moved in.. it was like I was living a dream. We have been here 16 years now.. and I still love it.
Hang in there... it will happen for you too.
