In the midst of our loss a couple of weeks ago we did get some good news, an offer on our house. Finally.
A woman had looked at our house back in November, but said that even though she liked it she would keep looking. Well, she came back the beginning of January for another look and made an offer. The offer initially came in VERY low and we really weren't sure what we should do. After talking with our Realtor we decided to counter offer and just let her know that we weren't going to play around that this was it. And believe it or not, she came back much closer to what we were hoping. After a week or so of getting the finer points down we had an offer we could both live with.
We had our inspection on Wednesday and just heard back today that it went well and there were only 3 minor issues, and one isn't even an issue they just didn't know what I had done. Anyway, so it looks like we're on our way to Cincinnati!
The offer was written that we won't close on the house until late March, but all contingencies will be off by February 17th for us to be able to write an offer on a home in Cincinnati. Once we close on the house we will rent our house back for at least April and if we don't find something we like by then we can rent May as well. This is perfect for what I want. It allows us to move when the weather is a little better and it will give Jake a chance to be in his new school for at least a month before school gets out so he can make some friends for the summer.
We are hoping to go down to Cincinnati sometime in February, but we're not sure yet if we will take the kids with us. Right now, there's not a lot on the market in Anderson twsp, but hopefully things will pick up soon. If not, we've also started to look at some other areas, but until I go down there I won't know for sure if I really like them.
Its going to be a busy few months trying to pack up everything and sell some things we don't want to move. Regardless, I'm excited to be moving forward!
