Now my pre-approval letter has been replaced by a much bulkier Purchase Agreement. Things are moving along for me. Slowly but surely.
Fingers crossed that the people I am buying from can find something soon on their end. They bid significally more on a place they loved yesterday but learned tonight that someone else bid even significantly higher than they did. *sigh*
Oh well, other than simply being anxious, I can wait if I have to. But the sooner the better...my new place is amazing and a perfect fit for me!!!!! Not to mention I have 30 years worth of payments to make, may as well get started ASAP. 
Forgive me for stating what might be obvious but don’t give notice until you signed and closed.
DH almost did that and were still waiting to get CTC on a final condition.
I’m not giving notice until I have signed my docs and received keys.
If if I had allowed DH to have it his way, I would be moving out to somewhere next week and completely stressed out since it wouldn’t be into the house we selected.
Our lease ends at the end of August. To break it is approximately 2.5 times the rent. If we sign in the next few weeks, 30 day notice would be mid to late July. I’m hoping they’re not going to enforce it since we’re so close to the end of it. There has also been a huge influx of new move ins/outs. I hope demand is enough for them just to let us out of it.
