so I fell in love again
Let me preface this by saying we are NOT in the market to buy a house right now. We want to wait till after the wedding and really do not have much saved yet for this.
FH an I were out at his parents house yesterday in Lindenhurst and decide to go walk around since it was fairly nice out. There were a TON of houses up for sale and we walked past this OLD OLD OLD house on this quiet street in the village and we stopped dead in our tracks. The sign was up 'Call Murf'
Murf!! We call my dog Murf! (murphy) ITS A SIGN
We're standing there. Both pull out our iphones and start searching for this house. Thinking holy crap its gotta be at least like 400k.
$200,000!!!!!!!!!! and the taxes....only $3900 after the star rebate. WHAAAA?
So we get back to his parents house and start crunching numbers and his mom calls the real estate office because she actually knows an agent that works there. Really? sounds like 1 omen after another.
We met with the agent at the house and she let us in. You guys. You'd think 200k and from what they said on the website that this house was a total mess. It was beyond craziness how great of shape this house is in. All hardwood throughout. All oringinal moldings, Tin ceilings. All of the updates to the house are cosmetic. Needs a new kitchen and bathroom but its totally livable and could be done over the course of a year.
Theres an open house today and we're praying that no one makes an offer. His moms friend will let us know midweek if there were any biters and if there werent were gonna go talk to a mortgage specialist.
I feel like im jinxing myself for even posting this but i need to tell someone!
FH will be more devastated if someone else buys it but I believe that everything happens for a reason so if it doesnt work out then it doesnt work out but cross your fingers for me!
