Still waiting for final confirmation....

2007-02-28T22:59:14Z

I honestly don't know why our realtor insists on putting in a contract deadline of less than 24hours when that makes it difficult to get an answer back by the deadline. So, we thought we would hear by 5pm today whether or not the developer would...

Have we finally reached the end of this saga?

2007-02-28T03:18:32Z

After work today we went down and spoke to the developers (its a father and son), after listening to much boasting as they walked through the place and told us why they made the decisions they did, Adam finally said, "look what will you throw in ...

I have to give it up...

2007-02-26T21:49:14Z

I don't remember who it was, but someone suggested I start watching Alias. I have never fully recovered from losing Xfiles and have been missing a not-too-sci-fi show to fill that void. I was distracted for quite awhile by 8 Seasons of West Win...

I visited two more townhouses...

2007-02-26T20:57:06Z

Would you believe I am still looking at new places? At least now it is easy to assess and move on without overanalyzing what we want. #25 (I've lost count - this is my best-guess). This was s 3BR/2.5Ba a stone-throw from the Kimball place. It ...

A new topic...

2007-02-26T16:31:48Z

I'm getting tired of posting only about the house hunting saga, so here is something complete different..... Photo depictions of my two favorite ways to enjoy a Sunday morning: Favorite #1: Unfortunately, there are only 4 Sundays a year where I ...

Back and forth... and back and forth....

2007-02-26T16:04:50Z

Still not sure if we are making the right decision by sitting down with the developer to negotiate. If these townhouses are so great, then why aren't they selling? I think we are over-analyzing this and need to stop soliciting other peoples' op...

Another Negotiating Update

2007-02-26T01:30:10Z

The developer came back and said that he couldn't go any lower than 10K above our offer (did that make sense?). We learned this on Friday afternoon. We immediately thought that meant that we should just walk away. In the meantime, we have beco...

Negotiating Update

2007-02-23T19:18:56Z

Turns out I wasn't very in the loop, I'm going to blame the stomach bug. Our plan for last night was to revist the townhouse to decide whether or not we want to negotiate with the developer on one of the mid-sized units (not the model unit and no...

Sorry I've been MIA....

2007-02-22T00:56:10Z

I was in DC on Monday/Tuesday, where I got a stomach bug -- since then, I have been curled up in bed feeling miserable. This is the first time in two days I have felt well enough to sit in front of the computer. Still haven't been able to keep ...

Still waiting.....

2007-02-19T17:10:20Z

It is noon on Monday and I am on a train to DC for an exciting two day utility conference. The developer had until noon today to respond to our offer.... The waiting is a little nerve-racking. And since I'm not home, and won't even be reachable f...
