It's a long story, but in a nutshell the house we bought had been built by another family on the contingency they sell their home. It didn't sell so the builder put the house on the market. We made an offer and it was accepted. Then - after we'd fallen in love - we found out the original family had a 72 hour right-of-first-refusal to make magic with their finances and complete the deal on the property. Say what??? We should have walked at that point, but didn't, we continued to fall more in love. The builder agent convinced us the house would be ours. However, at hour 71 - literally - the original buyers came through with their deal and we lost the house.
Insert loud BOOOOO here.
So, now we're working furiously to figure things out ... we're suffering from major house-search fatigue (this is the 2nd house we lost ... definitely not a buyer's market up here!). We are hoping to rent and give ourselves a little reprieve from the house hunt, get adjusted and not rush into a house. Then continue to look (when we're not so pressured), build, etc. Now we're having trouble getting a rental available when we want it ... apparently we're quite demanding!
That's the latest housing update. If we were to stay in this apartment (which is not going to happen) Dylan's school district would begin on Tuesday - less than 36 hours from when I'm typing this!) If we move to Swedesboro then he'll start on the 6th of September. We're not registered anywhere and mama needs a BREAK! So, fingers crossed the housing gods shine on us this week!!!
