House Hunting – The Waiting Game

It has been nearly two weeks since we sent our signed forms back to the bank with their addendums.  We are still waiting for them to sign to be able to start our inspections and get moving toward closing.  It seems strange that a bank wanting to get rid of a property is waiting so long to sign the paperwork and keep the process moving.  We’re told that the house is still ours and they are not entertaining any other offers.  This could be just lip service, but without any indication otherwise has to be taken at face value.  We have gone forward and ordered the appraisal which should have taken (or will be) place today.  I’m not concerned about this appraisal coming in at where we need it to but still want to see the report regardless.

At this point, there is nearly no way to close in April, which may or may not be advantageous to us in the long run as there are other setbacks we will have to work through.  Mainly, there are still many questions about the current house and the refinance of the property.  We will have to look at all of our options and make some decisions.  I am intentionally vague at this point since we have a lot to work through at this point.  I know everything will work out, it is just a matter of how.

I will continue to periodically post updates with everything and once we know a plan for the current house, moving, etc. I will let you all know.  Take care and have a great week!

    You are not making me excited about going house hunting.

    Good luck!

    Oh, you can still be completely excited. We’re excited about the new house entirely (just finding that banks take a while to sign) and have started to pack up.

    Since you don’t have a current house, looking and buying now would be a tremendous thing to do if you can swing it!

    Wow – I’m sorry things have slowed down to a snail’s crawl – I just wonder if they are playing another game on the side – time will tell. God is in control. Love, mom
