RN the oil burner went out at work. Waiting for the repair man to come.
Poor poinsettias.
I'm glad I wore my long underwear today.

I envisioned large poinsettias wearing sunglasses, driving in red trucks.... pulling in and then complaining about the lack of heat.

Naja, that is hard, because you had to be packing and now have to put on a show, with rain and holidays...

Naja, can any of the living area boxes be moved to another room or the garage to show the house?

RN That's the rec room. I have the living room pretty much clear. The garage is so full I can barely fit my car.

Grooch, this is what my mom used to do at her house in Florida. She planted her poinsettias around the house and sometimes they grew as tall as she is!

RN That is lovely, Naja.
RN today should have been a fun, happy day.
But it wasn't. So much anger they all have from their disfunction. I only need to make it 3 more weeks then I can collect unemployment over the winter while I look for a new job.
Bah! Humbug!

RN I got to see why that other woman didn't get her loan. While she makes a decent living, she already has too many bills.

Grooch, I hope they were less angry today.

RN They made an offer. 4k under asking, and not only will it be on contingency of them selling their house, I would have to pay the 5k closing fees. So my agent is telling them I want the full price since I have to pay the closing fees. If they don't sell their house by Jan 8, I lose the house I want.

RN they agreed to full asking price. Thank goodness. So I'll only end up with 5K less than had the other buyer made it to closing. Their old house is very nice and they are asking a very reasonable price for it, so my agent thinks it will probably sell quickly. I hope!

That sounds more promising.
Hope the deposit you are keeping will help towards the 5K.

RN I feel like I'm jinxing myself. So from now on, I'm not saying anything about the status of the sale of my house until I can post that we've closed.

RN I’m a big believer in being a prequalified buyer. One, I want to know what I qualify for in terms of the upper end. Two, I don’t want to embarrass myself. Of course our last buy for the house we’re in and have been for 22 years was not a hassle. We had made a substantial profit on our Virginia home and put 20% down. Back then there was a huge disparity between Northern Virginia and San Antonio housing costs. Our money went a whole lot further here. Let’s say both agents and the sellers were falling all over themselves to get the sale done. The sellers actually hosted a cocktail party for us, the agents, and the neighbors. We actually closed and took possession in 15 days.

Mack, I agree with you. And when I bought my house with my ex many moons ago, we got pre-qualified before hand, because of the reasons you stated, and also, because our realtor told us that if a seller gets a few offers, we had a better chance of being picked because the seller wouldn't have to worry about what Naja is going through. It seems like a no brainer to me.
But it does seem odd that a buyer who is overextended with credit would put an offer in above the selling price, and another buyer who has a house to sell can't get a mortgage. Makes me wonder if buyers these days have unrealistic expectations, or are banks getting stricter with credit?

RN, I am shocked that these buyers haven't been pre-approved. You can't even look at a house if you don't have a pre-approval here.

RN Thank you.
I think I've gotten more exercise this morning than I normally get in a week. I should have listened to the owner if this chihuahua/weenie dog mix and kept him on the leash to go in the yard. It took me a half an hour to catch him to bring him in! I am sweating up a storm.
