Round Two

We accepted an offer last night. While we were signing the papers we got two more calls from agents wanting to show the house. The response has been almost overwhelming, and so incredibly different from last time. We decided not to be greedy or sneaky and just accept the offer rather than trying to stall to see if anything better came along so we could get into a bid war.

After all, these people offered more than our asking price, even after we pay their closing costs. And they must really want the house: Toured it around noon, had an offer to our agent by four.

Nothing is final until it's final, of course. I doubt the inspection will turn up anything too big, but you never know. The appraisal shouldn't present much of a problem. And the only thing we have any control over at this point is finding the house we want to get into. Round Three starts soon.
