Moving On?

Here is an update on the house hunt: After about 40 days we heard back on the shortsale townhouse, the first house we put an offer on, which was our first pick. The bank gave our relator a "verbal offer" basically telling us what the bank really wants for the house and we should offer in order to get the house. So we wrote up what they told us to (*Normally in any other sale besides a short offer, a counter offer is ALWAYS written up by the second party, and then we would accept and be under contract and start closing*) however because this is a short sale, there are NO rules for the bank and just because they tell us what they want and we offer that, it gives us no guarantee or even a reasonable amount of hope that we will get it. So basically the ball is back in their court, and we are stuck waiting again. In the meantime, we want to get the $8,000 tax credit and in order to do that we have to close by Nov. 20th, which doesnt leave us much time! So we are looking into some other options right now. We were advised to wait until the end of this week (which would be about 10 days since our counter offer was put in) and we will have to forget about the house and choose something else. Here are some townhouses I went and looked at last friday, Tyson had to work so he didnt get to come with me, but we are planning to go together this upcoming week. Here are some pics. They have 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a basement. The nice thing about these townhouses are they are new, so they qualify for he $4000 new construction tax credit! It also has 3 different floor plans, and you can choose alot of the finishes. It also has a great clubhouse with pool, huge living area, kitchen, workout, games, theathre room.
