Well unfortunately all the talk of an offer over these past two weeks was for not - it sounded too good to be true and it was :( Finally got the official news from the Realtor last night. While our place is still the top of the potential buyer's list, it turns out his legal issue isn't going away quickly. He is in the process of cancelling his prior purchase agreement on the flood plain property since it wasn't disclosed, but the seller of the house has now filed a lawsuit against him for breech of contract so they could be battling this out in court for the next 60 days or more.
So baby will get to live in our little home in the sky after all. We'll spend the first week in July getting our chic little condo baby ready. We've been keeping all of his gear at my parents house and have lots of our stuff in storage over there as well, so have lots of rearranging to do. Might rent another storage locker at the condo to try and control the chaos somewhat but I have a feeling it will be slightly out of control. The thought of having mismatched decor is making me cringe, but baby won't care if there is a glider awkwardly sitting in the middle of the living room and I suppose I won't either the second I get to meet the little guy.
We decided to "lower" our listing price by essentially throwing in our 2nd parking spot. Just a $15K freebie - no big deal :/ Our original plan was to take the condo off the market July 1, but now we're considering leaving it on through fall. While it will be royal pain to do this with a new baby, it realistically would only be 2-3 showings a month and we'd require at least 24 hours notice. We have gotten decent traffic through thus far and if we take it off now, it would most likely be Spring 2011 before it would go back on. Thinking this might be more challenging with a crawler/walker who has lots more gear and toys to hide than with a newborn.
So... cheers to city living!
