36 hours later...

3 days after we put our house on the market and we are under contract! *phew* AND we are able to close on both houses on the same day. Just in time before the snow gets here.

Barring and inspections issues we close the first week of May. I need to go start packing!

The Search Goes on

We found out late in the afternoon that we did not get the house. As the woman, I am prepared to let it go and continue shopping. I love to shop. I'll shop all day for houses until I find that perfect fit. As the man, DG wanted to drown his sorrows in a bottle of vodka. He was sad, very sad and a bit more discouraged than me. No tears though, we will find our house, I just know it!

Bidding War

Can't talk now, we're in a bidding war over a house, in Wheat Ridge. *gulp*

David and I saw the house on Sunday and we both immediately had feelings for it. Having seen 26 homes now, the little butterflies in our stomach were telling us something. It has so many positive features, including a remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, maple cabinets and granite counter tops. Also, the front and back yard have been professionally landscaped. One issue is that it only has 3 bedrooms and other is that it is on the border of Denver. We would no longer be Denver residents able to ride our bikes downtown. We're willing to make the sacrifice however.

Oh yeah, and it already has a contract out on it. We are the full price, close in 3 weeks, backup offer.
