I have to tell someone... finally under contract on a farm! 8 months later, it’s ours!

That’s what my husband is saying. I think he might have a heart attack when he sees the mortgage payment, as that would be about $120k more than the house we are under contact on, which is a bit under budget.

I also think both my husband and his boss are completely out of touch with how much the boss’ house with worth in this market. It’s in a desirable area and neighboring houses have been selling in the millions lately, we can’t touch those prices. I’m not entirely sure the boss realizes that from the info that has been relayed to me. I have a feeling when they are close to listing it, someone will clue them in. While the boss is willing to give us first crack, I don’t think he has any interest in giving us a great deal.

Try to avoid real estate agents and go through attorney. You will save a ton.

Any updates? :slight_smile:

Thanks for asking. There is not much to update on at the moment other than the headache continues. If only the real estate market would rebound…

Y’all aren’t going to believe this but we actually closed!!! I’m still in disbelief.

I may have already shared this story, but some years ago, a Cother (I forget whom, sorry!) went through a similar purchase nightmare, with the sellers stealing everything, including the front door. I think I made an unsympathetic comment about doors and gates not being that expensive to replace.

Ha. Hahahaha.

Karma is real.
