going to make an offer

[jserio]

well, the wife gave me good news when i got home from work tonight. the house is basically ours. the mortgage guy called and said he had our pre-approval done and the loan is basically ours. just gotta fine tune the details i guess. and the sellers have agreed to fix the things wrong with the home. everything apparantly. and they said they'd start working on it this weekend. our schedualed close date isn't until the 18th though. guess we'll see how things play out until then.

What area are you buying into?

heard some more news today. the seller is done with repairs, mostly. but they've had to call the city out to try to resolve the water pressure issues in the home. i was told they may have to replace the main water line into the home and the meter. all of this at no cost to me though so i'm not complaining. city is supposed to be working on the issue this weekend and i should be able to go back through the house on tuesday to check the repair work. then i sign off to say repairs are satisfacory. then hopefully soon after we will be able to close!

I live practically just down the road from you. That road being 33, and that "just down" being 80 miles away in Columbus. 

Congrats on the new house!

Good god, we paid a year and a half ago 258k for a 3 bed 1.5 ba 2.5 car garage with a shop on a standard city lot.  Kills me now that its not even worth that.
