Sharp right turn


Things were going right on track and fairly smoothly as we enter our transition to move to the Prescott neighborhood.  After looking at houses for 5 months, we found one that would work for us and made an offer, got it accepted, were assured of the progress that it looked good and that the bank should approve the short sale in 2-3 weeks.  We were going ahead and arranging our schedule and lining things up to make this work when (after 4 weeks), Bank Of America decided that they would reject the sale and foreclose on the house.  That way they could get more write-off or taxpayer money. Greedy bastards.  Anyway, that puts us in a quandary.  


Do we still try to buy this house when it is re-listed as a foreclosure?  We are not sure what they will price it at.  Or do we wait it out and see if anything better hits the market over the summer?  Most of the houses that are going on the market are foreclosures but not many in Prescott. We would like to move as soon as camp is over and camp is so busy, it is going to be hard to spend time trying to buy a house.  Our plan was to buy a house now to take advantage of the 10% tax credit, but time has expired on that.


We are not sure. Nothing good comes easy.  Please join us in prayer for this.  Thanks.

Update

We are moving ahead on everything.  Our May 8 youth event in Prescott is coming together.  It will be a lot of fun and feature a bunch of groups that provide jobs and summer activities for youth and kids.  If you want to help out with this event, let me know.

Still waiting on the seller's bank to approve the sale.  It should be this week, but....

Thanks for your prayers.

Holding pattern

We have an accepted offer on this house.  Since it is a "short sale", it goes to the seller's bank for approval.  This can take 2-3 weeks.  Waiting is so hard, but that's the way it is.  Thanks for your prayers.

Be the Change.
