Okay, so last time I updated you guys I believe we were placing an offer on a house – well, that didn’t work out. They accepted another offer. So there we were back at square one looking for more open houses while almost feeling like giving up. At this point, we were using our entire weekends looking at potential homes (during the crazy winter storms mind you) and most of them just didn’t feel right or were too high in price for what they were.
Finally, we went to a showing of a house that was similar to the one we initially placed an offer on – but there was something different about the way this one worked out. We were chatting with the seller’s agent during the open house and it turns out the neighbors next door are also a husband/wife that are an architect/interior designer. If that’s not a sign that we should be living there, I don’t know what is! Then, I noticed in the guest bathroom there were monogrammed towels that had a “C” and “J” on them… hello….CODY AND JESSICA! We had to live here!! Later that evening we decided to go for it and place an offer – there is literally no messing around in Boston. Haha!
It must have been the good signs and the really sweet offer letter that Cody wrote to the sellers that did it, because our offer was accepted! I was very excited and then immediately SO nervous because this meant all of the ugly stuff of buying a house begins… an inspection, lawyers, negotiations, putting down a large amount of money that made me sick to my stomach, and then the underwriting (we gathered so many documents and bank statements, etc. that made me equally as sick).
Finally, we are very excited to announce everything went well with the underwriting process and we only have closing left on the home purchase list! We close on July 1st which feels like forever away, but it’s going to be here before we know it. I can’t even begin to tell you how much of a relief it is to know everything has worked out with this home! Someone must be looking out for us!
Anyway, I will keep you all updated with design plans, ideas and any other fun home stuff! I can’t wait to begin designing 😉
