We'd been playing this one a little close to the chest after the fiasco with the house in Spencer.
After that fell through we took a couple days to collect ourselves, re-evaluate what we wanted and where we wanted to be, and started looking again. Looked at ads we'd passed over for various reasons. Narrowed down to a few possibled and got more info on them. One was WAY out there - north of the Hector/Fingerlakes National Forest. The other was listed as an Odessa address, but turned out to be about a couple miles south of Mecklenburg.
I drove by the Odessa one. We made an appointment to look at it a few days later. Other Half and I went to look at it, poked around, and then went to lunch.
As we were eating, I asked her, "So ... what did you really think?" She kinda looked at her plate (oh great), looked at me, and said, "I'm wondering how much we should offer."
We made an offer a couple days later after CJ finished a comp evaluation.
The offer was conditionally accepted within 24 hours with one change. We agreed to the change, and it was off to the races...
Structural inspection was May 15th, with no major surprises. We asked for a couple minor repairs, and the seller agreed to all of them. Radon test came back with acceptable levels.
Applied for the mortgage, and at 1:04pm today, I got the call from the bank - we've been approved!
Our estimated closing date is July 9 ... there's a lot to do in the coming five weeks! NYSEG ... Verizon ... insurance ... goodness me!
Here's the house...
