So we heard the counter offer from the sellers...
They want:
1.Higher sales price
2. Not responsible for any repairs to get the house approved for closing
3. a kick-out clause (which is basically-the house can stay on the market until closing, and if they get another offer they like better, they can kick us out of our contract)

The first two was expected and not a big deal, the kick out clause however is going to have us just walk away.--it's not a risk we are willing to take.

So....we countered back meeting in between on the price, a set amount of repairs we will be responsible for, and NO kick out clause.

Now we get to wait some more to see if they agree or counter again.... sigh.
We're going to still take a look at what other houses are available, as we are thinking the sellers won't budge on the kick-out clause and will have us walking away from this one.

Other news--we're going down to Deal tomorrow for some crabs (yum!) and beer (double yum).
We'll see how the 4 dogs do down there--hopefully we won't have to keep them separated the ENTIRE time. Maybe they'll all just be too hot to worry about each other. Wishful thinking!

Sigh....so the wait continues to hear back on our offer on the house. Hopefully we'll know something today or tomorrow.
We are going to continue to look at some other houses just in case this one doesn't go through.

Otherwise, things are pretty uneventful. I really need to do some organizing and have actually been feeling a bit DIY-ish/crafty lately...but really holding out until we know about the house because:
1. No room in the apartment right now...2 dogs + 3 people + one tiny apt. = no space!
2. We're trying to really watch all expenses so we can save up as much as possible for the potential work on the new house
3. I'd rather make something cool for the new house anyways, since the last thing I need is more shit in the apartment.

I keep obsessively checking my email in the hopes to hear something...



UPDATE!!!! Counter offer will be submitted to us by tomorrow! Keeping my fingers crossed!!

Putting in the offer on the house today! Trying not to get our hopes up but we're definitely excited!! Keep your fingers crossed!
