On More Solid Ground

[voxwoman]

Our realtor had another buyer "on deck" and we have another offer. This one is much more solid, with  1000 down now, and another 29K in 10 days. Real 10% cash down. The sales price isn't fabulous, but it's basically the same as the deal we were working under that fell through. She said something about "he's going to remodel the whole thing" so the buyer (a single guy, apparently) is aware of the "as is" nature of the house. I don't want to know if he's going to demolish our new kitchen (but if he is, I'd come in and remove the cabinets for him, LOL. I'd put them in this kitchen in a heartbeat). Makes me wonder if we wasted the money redoing the floors, but he'd be an idiot to rip up Chestnut floors.

Keep appendages crossed that this deal goes to closing. (and that my lawyer doesn't charge me double for all the extra work he's doing selling this house!)

Good luck, once more... Oh, boy. And it's such a pretty house!

I wish I could afford it :-D.

Good luck!

If this goes closing, don't be afraid to ask him about his plans for the kitchen. You might get lucky. Or you can make a habit of driving by the house and hope he just puts them out by the curb with a "FREE" sign on them. :)
