Thanks all! Trish - only 5 mins from where we are now, we're staying in this area, we love it.
Dansta - yep, it was passed in at auction back in October!! Apparently the vendor had an offer in writing of 50k more than what we are planning to offer, this was months ago, and he turned it down.
Then he got an offer two weeks ago that was 15k more than we are going to offer, which he reluctantly accepted, but the buyer's finance fell thru.
So we are (on the advice of the agent... Who's side is he on? I think ours ) going to offer 15k less than the accepted offer, the agent thinks he might take it because he is apparently "keen as mustard" to sell. Possibly has two mortgages right now (they have moved out) so is possibly in a lot of pain financially!
We can also do a short settlement as we are not selling here.
Yay! I'm sure you'll get it, especially this close to Christmas .
We had a similar thing happen when we bought our house 8 years ago, just before Christmas. It had been passed in at auction a couple of months before for $30k less than what we offered, but the guy was desperate to sell by then (he'd bought elsewhere) and took our offer!
WOO HOO!! so good you finaly found somwere! fingers crossed it all goes smooth sailing from here!
dont worry about it not being*perfect* you will be able to work out the little kinks once your settled!
Op that sound really, really good! as for perfect, you move into a house and make it home. it'll become perfect over time ;-)
GL and i hope it all goes nice and smooth for you!!
