Frustrated, flustered, flabbergasted and furious doesn't even begin to describe my current state of emotions! On Tuesday, we got some disheartening news about the purchase of our house. We've been waiting on the appraisal for a lot longer than we were told and were finally given the bad news. The appraisal came in lower than our bid and because we're working with HUD they won't allow us to lower our offer. Apparently they like having too many houses in their inventory. Who knew? Our realtor and lender were both furious about the news as much as the hubs and I were. Bottom line, the appraiser was incompetent using outdated information to figure the worth of the house. The inspection came back with better news than this!
It's hard to keep a well-rounded perspective about this process. I realize that this might not be the right house for us, but up until this point, everything seemed golden. And I thought I was doing a good job by not counting my chickens before they hatched.
In other, happier news I am an incredibly blessed woman for the husband and son I get to spend my life with!
Oh, I am so sorry to hear that. Nothing is more frustrating than snags in the home buy/sell market. Just hang in there- it always works out eventually, and in the meantime, you're right to love on your family. Cutest little sad food face ever, by the way :)
ReplyDeleteEven with that sad face, I just want to kiss on him! Thanks for the words of encouragement. It's sometimes difficult for someone like me, who always lets her emotions get the better of her, to take a deep breath and look at the bigger picture. Anne of Green Gables and I have that in common. ;) BTW, love your theme for April!
