We heard back from our realtor yesterday. Wednesday night, there was another offer put in on the house. So the current owners are calling for best and highest offer. Whoever has the best and highest offer by 5pm tonight gets it. Our realtor said that at this point, we should offer whatever was going to be our final offer. We thought and talked and talked and thought. We can afford the payments if we got the house for asking price of $175,000. Our payments would be $200 more than our rent, but we've also been saving about 1/3 of our overall income for a down payment, so paying an additional $200 per month isn't going to break the bank.
So that's what we've decided to do. Offer the asking price of $175,000. The suspense is driving me crazy. I was supposed to work today, but it was overtime and the census is low at the hospital, so they told me not to come in. I may need to bring one of the kids on an appointment. At this point, work would be a welcome distraction.
Today is going to be a real nail biter!
