omg i can't believe it!!

[Kimbear 53]

So its been 2 months since they auctioned off the house we loved and put an offer on. And its been 3 months that we have been with inlaws and i've been slowly going crazy.

Last night we are on the phone with my new realtor, and she tells me about a house that is more expensive than we want but she can get the guy to drop the price (same realty company). Anyway we agree to go see them today, they are in the same area as the house we wanted. So i go on Redfin to see her colleagues house, and OMFG, what do i see at the bottom of the page for other similar homes....thats rightOUR ORIGINAL HOUSE!!!!

It was there for less money to boot! So my last realtor, and the lawers for the auction and the old bank all lied etc etc...it never got sold it never got given to the bank..i dont even know where it went or what happend. but my realtor (shes the foreclosure specialist that was originally trying to sell it to us) was freaking out saying unreal this is unreal.. and now we are going to see it again and buy it for even less!!!

some of the appliances are gone from what i see in the new pictures, some minor dmgs in walls like from banging furniture into them but other than that..i'm so happy i could cry. its 8k less than it was originally, and i'll bloody pay 8k more if i have to to get it!!! we might just have a home before winter finally, cuz as it stands, i was about to kill my mother in law!!!!

Yeah!!! I can't wait until we can afford to buy a house and get out of this tiny apartment. With a baby and 2 dogs, it is just too little

And BTW...I saw your post in the vent thread first and was thinking...OMG they are expecting....LOL!

[Inky 1,111]

hopefully you get it this time! good luck ! house hunting is really annoying and plays with emotions specially when you find one you just love but cant have. Hopefully this is a light at the end of the tunnel though for you guys and you snap it up! post pictures when you get the keys

My husband was laughing and making jokes on the ride home today as its been so long since he saw me laugh blush etc. we ended up signing the offer today, all the apperwork has been sent out just gotta wait for the fha appraisal and loan to go through.

Its been 6 months since we saw the house originally and it has gotten dirtier since then (if that is even possible). But aside from some good old cleaning minor repairs (drywall holes door holes etc) a good paint job, its in moveable condition. Oh and no way in hell i'm using that stove or dishwasher..BLECH i'll never understand how ppl just stop caring and cleaning their home...i mean you still have to live there!. But i dont care..i'll live an extra 2weeks after closing at the inlaws while i clean and make it movein readyfor us. I'm just so damn happy right now.

LOL no not expecting yet..i wish..although once we finally get settled and the stress goes away maybe then finally we can add a little addition to the family. But stress totally reaks havoc with my body. and ever since sept 08, immigration to now no bloody wonder i can't get pregnant!!.

Nice situation to be in... you already did the homework on it from the first time so you were all set to sign without going through all the questions and discussions. Best of luck... hope it all goes through soon and you can be in your own "nest".

Fingers crossed for you!

[Stuart and Thea 95]

Wow, fantastic news, I hope it all goes through SMOOTHLY this time!

[Kimbear 53]

Fannie Mae it seems now owns the home, and they are offering to pay our closing costs if we close by Oct 31st. So the house is 8k cheaper than the last list price, i dont have to pay tax stamps etc this time, or closing costs..but i do have to buy appliances..all in all..i still save money! Should find out Friday for sure if its all a go with Fannie Mae. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Yay appliance shopping I'm glad this has turned out positively...you would never have know this would happen when you were in the thick of it

[Inky 1,111]

We were appliance hunting recently for package sets and seemed the best deals were at lowes with their 5% off card thing plus their package dealing. Would be worth it to check them out!

friday needs to hurry up so we can find out if Kim gets her house

[Flames9_RN 358]

I have heard Lowes can have some good deals. Don't forget about Sears. I have had good luck with the Kenmore brand as they are made by the big name companies, then just re-badged with the Kenmore logo!! I had a website (prob easy to find) that you could put in the Kenmore model # and it would tell you who made it. And if you don't have a Sears card, I think they give you a discount if you open one up!!

But no it does NOT surprise me. The financial Industry is such a mess, anything can happen!!

Best of luck

Oh what a fun good news story! It sounds like that house is 'meant' to be for you so good luck with Friday, and here's to a quick and easy move into your very own home !

[Stuart and Thea 95]

Do they offer appliance deals on Black Friday? That would give you a couple weeks to clean it before moving in, but maybe you'll save even more than you think!

[Udella&Wiz 325]

Make sure they'll do the haul away of the old - we ended up getting most of ours at Sears - even though they charged $$ for the haul away they gave you a sears giftcard back - evened out
