Today I am thankful for an approved contract.
So our offer was approved...ummm, last Tuesday, but it took until this afternoon to finally get the contract finalized. We were starting to get worried because HUD was asking for so much paperwork, but I'm sure they had good reason and we learned a good deal about patience in the meantime. It actually ended up working out well because with the delay, we'll now be able to do our home inspection while our agent is on her honeymoon (yay!) and then if anything needs to be worked out after that, we'll still be within our 15-day timeline to get in touch with them when she gets back.
So now begins the adventure of getting utilities turned on in the right order and then all we have left is the home inspection and new appraisal. We also learned today that this is all we have left, so as soon as the appraisal comes back, we can close the very next day. We may just get in before July 15th. Sooo exciting! Paint colors and furniture arrangements are about all I can think about right now. I'm ready to put those thoughts into action. :-)
