okay stress was getting to me a little to say the least last night, but i pulled my self out of bed this morning and to my realtor's. we went to my top pick that i was trying to get too hopeful over just seeing photographs on the internet, but it sounded perfect... and it was. it was actually next door to the converted mansion where i was trying to buy my condo. so it's still in the area i have fallen for which is so great for location to fun, family, amenities, and the lake to walk my dog is still only a half block away. i held my breath as we quickly ran back to my realtor's home office to fill out the offer. the listing agent is the owner and by the time she was dropping me off we had a counter offer! not wanting to risk someone else grabbing it i accepted the counter and now i'm under contract again!
i loved the condo in the converted mansion, but there was no way i could get a loan for it, just bad timing with foreclosures and other owners wanting to sell. so this places is different, it has it's own list of pros and cons in comparison but it will be great. i really hope 3rd try is the charm, but just in case i do have some back-ups already picked out so i don't have to start from scratch again. i wanted to of been moved by two months ago so right now i just want into a place as fast as i can. this place is double the price of the last one, but it has its own yard, garage and is just re-done so cute, no work needed on this one. no room set for a studio now, but i think i can carve out a space with some room dividers.
i just feel so much better today compared to yesterday, i was literally losing it. i would have started hitting people with sticks if i had a stick close. this one should work out just fine for me and i'm kind of scared to get excited about it since i thought the last one was such a shoe-in for a done deal and then lost it to not fault from my side so i worry. i'm trying to feel better about it, more optimistic but i will be so cautious till i walk into that room, close and walk out with my new keys. at that point i may faint from relief if possible or jump 10 feet in the air screeching YIPPIE! we'll see. i'm feeling kind of scared right now, but as far as we can tell it should work out. today everyone gave us quick responses, and i was able to get all my questions answered, get an offer together, submit and am now under contract in a day where in the past it's taken days for the sellers to respond so i just hope that is a sign of how the rest of it will work out and it will go smoothly. i kind of feel like i'm splitting at the seems. wish me luck, cross your fingers. this time though i have found some back-ups so i'm just prepared for the worst now, after the last two fails, i don't want to just feel so out and lost again. oh do i hope this one works out, it is such an adorable little townhouse-esque condo in a u-shaped small building so there is a small courtyard built in 1951. eep.
