Day 12 update on house

In all this waiting and house hunting/bidding drama..

He still have been waiting for an answer on our short sale house that was the first choice among the original 4... Ya know? The one at the end of a street with Solar Panels, Fruit trees and the homeschooling family down the road?

Anyway.. that house has had more drama than most daytime TV and even the life of my in-laws-  This is the couple who own it didn't file taxes for 2 years, then weren't sending in paperwork that they needed to proceed with the short sale, then sending in paper work that contradicted the previous paperwork (because when you don't file taxes you don't remember what you made for  money and your answers don't always match up..) And then they filed bankruptcy which stopped the sale of the house, then the bankruptcy was continued.. and in the middle of all this they are getting a divorce and it's a bitter, angry and uncooperative situation.  And then the selling agent on the house had enough and baled out of it, so our sellers agent took it over and he's now representing both of us (I think he really wants to see this sold and to us so that he can stop showing us other houses. I hope)

So.. Today I get an email from our agent.

The bankruptcy was dismissed.. because.. drum roll please.. the guy didn't send in the paperwork he was supposed to- which has been the big problem all along with him.

Could it be that this will be the house for us after all? It is September. And it met all my wishful thinking wish list and it's only negative is that it has a pool. (which I know for some is a positive and maybe it will grow on me if the kids can swim and I don't have a overwhelming fear of them drowning. At least this one in fenced in)

Of course this is developing quickly just at the time that Larry and I will be out of town for 3 days for a baby trade convention.
But our timing seems to work that if it's going to be inconvenient, that's the time it happens.

Stay Tuned...
