House Hunting Status

We are officially free of the condo now which is a huge relief but haven’t found a place in Gig Harbor yet.  Living with my parents is going well, but we’re a little anxious to get our own place with the baby on the way and all.

To that end, we’re putting our hopes and prayers on this place for now but still keeping out eyes out for anything else that might come on the market.

It’s a short sale and there’s only 2 offers on it and we’re pretty sure our offer is higher than the other one, but the bank may not take either.  Hopefully the bank will decide that taking a 10% hit on the price is better than keeping it on the market longer.  And hopefully they will decide that SOON.  It’s a waiting game now though.

For those interested if how this house fits into our local life, the answer is great!  Here’s the map.  We also just figured out this morning that the house is walking distance to church (albeit no sidewalks in places) so that’s cool.

Good luck on the house! It was awesome getting to hang out with you guys again the other week in SeaTac! Hopefully, we'll get to do it again sometime soon.

Sometimes I wish I had sold my house in Camarillo. Oh well... renting isn't all that bad. ;-)
