Back to the Drawing Board
So, apparently after 60 days of silence, someone else also decided to make an offer on our house today. We countered by upping our offer to the maximum we can afford, just to be sure, but they went with the other offer.
So... now maybe we look at a highly conditional purchase of the ratty place? I don't know.
I'm not overly upset. It could be because it was one of those things we can't control, and therefore there's no blame involved. Maybe it's that my heart was less set on this place, although now I'm beginning to panic about where we are going to live period. But most probably, it's that Benn has been feeding me a stream of carbs for the last 48 hours.
I guess the next step is to make a very lowball offer on the other place, with a lot of conditions (like a new washer dryer), do the cash back thing that the realtor told us about, and do some renos before we move in.
