Boy O Boy this has been a day. Fannie did counter back - we are 7 grand apart. The listing agent didn't know jack until my agent called and told him I knew more than they did. SEVEN GRAND. If I lose this house over seven grand. And if we could have gotten an offer I could have locked in at 4.62%. Can gets lots of house with that interest rate. Wanted to hear by 5 but nope. Now another weekend of hell waiting. I think this makes about ten ruined weekeds due to house worrying.
Realtor wanted me to check out a couple others today 'to just see" --and went to this grandma -esque pink type....They were burning candles to cover up the stinky stench, and I don't mean to be mean, but i think it was the smell of death - Its been four hours and I still feel sickened and I can't get the thought of that smell out of my mind. And I was only in there for 45 seconds, tops. I didn't want to be rude and just turn right around, so we had to pretend to look around.
Then saw two brand new lovely homes for dirt cheap --- 25 feet from the train track. Srsly. Really? Why would someone build houses there??? Would anybody buy a house that close to the train track? If so, why?
And the ORIGINAL short sale house's (that started this entire disaster) bank FINALLY said 141 is their final price. (LO is my secret spy and got me the info from Evil Twin). That they had me thinking we could get that house for 105 makes me want to stab my ear with an ice pick. The Evil Twins are to blame for all of my problems I was happily living life as a renter until they got involved and ruined my peace.
Supposed to go look at the FSBO in an hour...... Got comps from my LO and they are asking WAYYY too much and there is no way I'm paying an appraiser to tell me that. They bought it for 100K as a short sale and paid cash. Now they are asking 144 - I'm guessing the appraisal would come back at 119 tops. Well, maybe up to 125, CUSSWORD I don't know. It sure is nice but it ain't that nice.
Made the daily call to IRS to check on my taxes. Today the rep tells me that you can't file taxes electronically if they are late. I just listened to her lecture me on the importance of filing your federal taxes on time (I got no credit for paying on time) and asked her if she could please just check my status. Yesterday the super nice lady said by next week for sure they'd be done. The Un-filed 2010 Return Saga continues another day. I dare not say anything bad about governmental employees. wink wink
It's too hot to go look at any house except my dream house that is seven thousand dollars out of my reach. I just want to go to bed but it's too hot. So I'll go watch X games with my son and be glad he's not flipping around in the air on a two stroke.
I hope that no one is reading this because this is a really negative post.
