The offer is in...

...but I'm not sure whether to cross my fingers yet. :)

On Wednesday, my hubby and I went househunting. Again. And we found a house that we both liked, in an area we weren't sure of. After much dithering/discussion (and much pulling up of the local crime databases,) we went to go see the house again.

So we put an offer in on the casita (I think that's the technical term; it's a Spanish-style bungalow)---it's been the only house (so far) that my hubby and I both liked. It's in decent shape for a house built in 1925 (and hell, it's still standing so they must have done something right. :)) And aside from some interior painting glitches, it's pretty darned cute.

So we bit the bullet and put an offer in today. Now, we wait, because the house is a short sale and it seems like everyone and their mother has to be involved before we even get close to getting the keys. Which means that nothing is really resolved; like an Ebay auction, we've put our "bid" in but there's just no guarantee we'll win. And if we find something better in the meantime...well, that'll be as it should be too.

Us. Homeowners. Wow. :)
