Under Contract

Yup - that's right, the house is now UNDER CONTRACT! We listed our house on Wednesday, May 13th at $134,900 - with us willing to pay for some of the buyer's closing costs.

Well, we never noted in the MLS that we were offering that since showings were being set up left and right! After C-21 came in on Thursday morning to preview (they all loved the home), one showing was set up for that evening, then 3 on Friday and 3 more on Saturday. Well the showing on Saturday at 10 a.m. went wonderful!

Both Ryan and I were working that morning, but Kenna sent me a text message saying "we may have an offer coming in!" Shortly after she called - an offer was being written up, FULL LIST PRICE, NO CONCESSIONS, NO HOME INSPECTION! Ryan and I were shocked!

So we signed the contract yesterday, and now it's just cross our fingers that financing goes through - expected close date, no other than Jack's birthday! June 26th. Hope this is a good sign!!

New House & City Home

Alright, so our current house in the City will be listed over the weekend. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house with extra living space downstairs. A pool, shed, garage, and more..... so if you know anybody contact Kenna at Century 21 in Plattsburgh.

The New house - We heard back from Tom Maggy yesterday with a price, and well, it's way under budget! We are so exicted!! Frankly, we are making a lot of upgrades now since there is a nice cushion we have going for us. We are choosing to do in-floor heat in the basement, upgraded kitchen cabinets, looking into granite countertops, tile in the "wet" areas - and some upgraded siding. Yet, Ryan and I have wanted a red house for some time, but now I came across a nice Cypruss color. Um.... we are still debating. But I'm so excited about the new house, let's just hope our current one sells quickly!!
