Our house is closed…now the waiting game begins

question-mark.jpg The entire transaction was incredibly smooth and the buyer was gracious and completely grateful. We are now renting back for 2 months while the lender determines what they are going to do about our purchase agreement.

So what is a qualified, soon to be homeless, potential home buyer to do? Find a second choice? With such a large inventory to choose from, there has to be something else…..

I am obsessively scanning the multiple listing website to find my “Plan B”.  There has to be another home on the market that will meet our needs, should this not go through.  I need a back up house. I have email notifications set up so that any new listing is automatically sent to me but it isn’t enough.  I can’t stop logging on to the system and surfing the same inventory.  I keep waking up earlier in the morning to go through the same ritual. When there is nothing new in the system, I look at the older listings.  I have taken the entire family on property tours for the past three weeks. The kids are getting confused. We keep on telling them that we might be buying the brown house but we don’t know for sure. They continue to ask why but I can’t explain this to my friends and family so I have stopped trying to explain it to the them.

My mother starts every conversation with, “Any news on the house?”

So I continue the search….
