A hiccup!

Ray left work a little early today so we could meet at the Title Company in Atascadero to have our Grant Deed signature notarized. Afterwards we drove up to Paso to have a look at the Chevy Uplander which we are considering renting (or purchasing) for our cross-country trip. My cell phone rang and it was our realtor....she dropped a big bomb.....the buyers cancelled escrow!! The guy lost his job today!! We are in shock!

INSPECTION WEEK!!

We had a lot of inspections at our house this week! PEST, MATTRESS and finally today a HOME INSPECTION. We were supposed to have our septic tank inspected this week but it got rescheduled for Monday.
The Home Inspector was here for almost 3 hours! His inspection took a couple of hours and then the remainder of his time here he was talking with the prospective buyers and their Realtor.
I watched most of the activity from the Wenzels' house down the hill. I got a little teary-eyed when the young couple who is buying our house walked happily up our driveway. I guess that is when it hit me! Someone else is moving into our house!!
It is going to be a long weekend waiting to hear back from our Realtor what the Home Inspection found and what the buyers would like for us to take care of.

ESCROW!

OUR OFFER WAS ACCEPTED!!!
We are officially in escrow! The buyers want a 45 day escrow or sooner if they can do it!
We are really excited about it but nothing is truly set until April 2nd or 3rd (17 days into escrow).

FINALLY.........AN OFFER!

We finally received an offer on our house! It is a bit of an unusual offer....the interested buyers also submitted an offer for another house in Paso Robles at the same time. They wanted to see who would respond with the best offer that they could afford.
We counter-offered and the buyers have until Friday at 7:30pm to respond. We are excited to finally get an offer and the buyers seem serious but we can't get too excited until we hear their response....
While we wait with baited breath we are taking advantage of the warm evenings out on our front deck enjoying the views and a glass of Rabbit Ridge Primitivo!
