I'm sure you've all wondered what we decided to do about the whole house issue...well, we decided to put an offer on the small house with the big yard. They counter offered and we let it expire because we went to look at a different house. Last weekend we really didn't know what we were going to do, but went back to the big yard house. It turned out that the owners had felt really bad to have lost us (their realtor called ours over the weekend to see if they could re-counter, and also told him that they should have accepted our offer). This was great for us, because our second offer was less than the first and they accepted it!! (Realtor thinks they didn't want to chance losing us again - yeah for a buyer's market!!) We close on June 5!! What's really great is that this house is maybe 2-3 miles from where we live now, instead of 15-20 miles!! And it has a peach tree and an apricot tree and a grape vine! Aige wants to grow pumpkins in the garden. I get more and more excited when I think about all the fun things to do in a backyard!!
