Last Friday, my wife told me that she was going to look at some houses with one of her friends and a realtor who has been emailing her listings for the past 2-3 years. I basically rolled my eyes and went back to work thinking nothing of it. A few hours later, she calls me and insists that I come check out one of the houses as soon as I get off work. I agreed to do this, not expecting much.
Silly me. After glancing at some listings and not being impressed, or making some suggestions that she didn't care for, we found a place in our price range that wouldn't require either of us to compromise. After the initial showing, I went back two days later with my parents, who are very experienced in house-hunting, moving and remodeling. A day after that, we made an offer. Then we made another offer. The seller (a bank, as this was a foreclosure) was holding out for the full asking price. All of two days later, they changed their mind and accepted. That was this afternoon. After work, we're going to sign some more paperwork. I guess I can cancel the other showings.
We were going to wait until spring, but I guess opportunity knocked early.
