House Update!

SOLD!

Well, at least we’ve accepted an offer!  I know that’s not quite the same as sold, but it’s still exciting!

Can you believe it?  The house was officially on the market for less than a week, and we had 13 showings and an offer.  We signed the paperwork tonight.  And it’s even better–the new buyer has agreed to allow us to RENT the house.  We still have to find out the exact details of the rental agreement but it sounds like the buyer is actually buying our house for the purpose of renting it out, so we would simply become the first tenants.  This is a HUGE blessing because at the moment there isn’t anything for sale in Shakopee that we love.   So, that gives us the freedom to keep looking until the perfect place pops up on the market.   🙂

Now, of course, this isn’t a done deal until after the inspection.  We are praying that if this isn’t God’s will that the inspection would fail.  And let’s face it–with a house over 100 years old, there are a lot of things that could go wrong… so we’re still on pins and needles until we have the inspection completed.  Our realtor said that should happen in the next 10 business days.

I’ll keep you posted!  🙂
