    Smile Placed an offer

    This morning my husband and I placed an offer on a beautiful house. All wood floors, multiple skylights, patio, fireplace, hot tub, two big yards (one on the side and one in back). Now we have to wait and see if they take our offer or if we will get outbid.
    Please think positive thoughts for us. The discus will be very happy there.

    Ah, stressful times; I remember them well. Remember, it's a buyer's market. Does the house have a basement for a fish room? I couldn't wait to have a look at the basement when the agent and owner were showing me around.

    Or better yet, a basement with a fishroom. Good luck...and hope you close before another pair forms.

    It is a buyers market however the problem is at our price range for buying a home is that most are bought by investers since they know that prices are very likely to continue going up in value and they pay 100% in cash up front. (Bullpucky if you ask me). Which means that the investers get the homes unless you outbid them, or make an offer really quickly after the home goes on the market and it is accepted before an invester can make one, or as is the case with this house it is sold as a Fannie Mae Homepath home (meaning only people wanting to live in the house are allowed to buy - not investers; although they sometimes find ways to work around that "uncle Bob is going to live it" Riiiiight).

    Who needs a basement, the entire house is a fishroom (except the bathrooms and the "mancave").

    I only have 2 other discus left. I did not even think I was going to get 1 let alone 2 pairs. There is no way that out of 6 discus I end up with 3 pairs. lol

    You got my best wishes. Who cares about those investors. As long as you and love ones (assume you re married) love the house, that is what it matters. My wife and I looked and looked for over a year, we both did not like any of them, either she or i like it. Finally we felt in love with the house that we live right now. Even though it is older than others that we looked at. We lost a bid to the investor who paid it in cash, we turned around bought it from his hand. If it is yours, it is yours.

    No need to wish you good luck because it's yours.
