Kevin opened his bible this morning and his eyes fell on Ps. 69:1: "Save me O God, for the waters have risen up to my neck." Kevin told me that he hopes this isn’t a ‘sign’ from God about what will happen when we take on a big mortgage.
Honestly, though, everything is working out perfectly. Almost too perfect. We inquired about purchasing the seller’s beautiful two-year-old refrigerator and, after finding out that we wouldn’t make a big deal about a few hairline cracks in the entry way tiles, she decided to throw in the fridge for no additional charge. She’s also throwing in the washer and dryer. This means that the only ‘major’ purchase we’ll need to make ASAP is a lawnmower. Everything else can wait until the budget allows. Whew!
The seller’s agent said that she was very amused that two lawyers were willing to sign an arbitration agreement. Interestingly, this was something we balked at doing. But, in the end, we decided to make the offer as clean as possible and sign everything. The moral of the story? Even lawyers will make concessions when they want to buy a house in a seller’s market.
