Counter offer recieved...officially...
We finally recieved the official counter offer from the seller yesterday. We immediately sent over our counter offer that our Realtor had all ready to go. She emailed it to the seller's agent first thing this morning. Now we wait.
Any bets on how long it will take to get a response?
In the meantime, the Mr and I have decided which floorplan we want.
It's called the 1920. Imagine the garage off the dining room.
and we're playing with where to put the house on the lot.
The Mr. played with his computer and drew this picture. The dark blobs are two trees. They are huge! One is a cedar tree that smells wonderful and the other is a massive evergreen.

Still Waiting....
Yup. we're still waiting. We finally heard from the seller's realtor over the weekend that the seller had changed his mind and would be countering our offer. We were supposed to get paperwork on yesterday. Still haven't seen anything.
On a happier note, on the finiancial side of things we're all set. Loan approved and ready to order an apprasial on our project....we just need a project....
So, really this is a non-update.

and....we're still waiting
We submitted our offer....and waited. and waited. and waited. On Monday our Realtor got an email from the seller's agent. Which said, basically that the seller liked our offer but went to the hospital for a day surgery and it would take a couple of days to get the paperwork signed.
okay. that's fine. we completely understand.
Yesterday our agent sent the seller's agent a message asking how it was going, and he responded that the seller (who's 84) was still in the hospital recovering from surgery, it wasn't an in and out thing like he orginally thought. and the seller didn't want to deal with the sale until he was feeling better.
okay. again, we understand. no big deal, we're in no real rush.
have I mentioned that I have no patience?

No mud!
We went out and walked on the property on Monday. It was nice. Two huge evergreen trees and a slight slope. The view is just stunning. I'll have to snap a picture so I can share.
A school bus drove by and I didn't need to raise my voice to talk, so I don't think the road noise will be a problem. Our realtor expressed concerns about the slope and how it drains and the lack of information on wells in the area.
I thought it was a positive thing that we weren't mucking around in mud, we'd had torrential rain for a couple of days and the ground wasn't soupy. So, good drainage.
Sorry no pictures yet, forgot to take my camera with me.
What's the next step? Our Realtor asked the seller's agent for the septic approval paperwork and any information on wells in the area. He finally responded to her and sent the approval and a water test that was done on a neighboring property's well. No contaminants to speak of.
Now we need to make an offer on the property, and see where that leads. We have a tight budget, but I'm optimistic that we'll be able find a number that makes the both the seller and us happy.
Stay tuned!!!

Happy Mail!!!
Our official Site Visit Information packet arrived Friday!
I sat down to look through it and it all seems so for-real now.
LOOK! FLAGS!
To mark out the footprint of our new house!
Of course, we don't have property yet, so we're not 100% sure which house we'll choose, but FLAGS!!!
All the info inside answers most of the questions we've been peppering Kellie's email with.
Kellie is the Home Ownership Counselor who is working with us. She's great. She's quick to answer email questions, even if it's just to say she's busy but will answer the next day. She's been very straightforward and clear about a very confusing process.
The packet explains the OTD's (owner to do's) and what the happens next.
