Knowing that the time had come for us to be in a house, we put the condo on the market. 10 days later we had an offer and it was go time.
After putting offers on three different houses (all of them falling through), we finally found one that seemed to have the stars align. It was a good house in a good neighborhood, needed a little work, but overall was the perfect house for us. After the inspection and the appraisal were done, we had a small list of things that we wanted to have either fixed or credited. The homeowners (with a lot of drama) said no to both of these and so we fell out of contract and started the process again.
We furiously began looking again and luckily found a home (house #5). Everything went smoothly, which was a huge relief as we had been living with my parents since the condo closed. Needless to say, we will NOT be moving again anytime soon.
