Update:

Our house is still up for sale, however, we're not trying to buy the same house. Confused yet?

We did put an offer in for the house we wanted, but luck was on our side and the owners decided to pull it off the market. Why do I say luck? Because that's just what it was. Though I loved the orginial house we wanted to purchase, my husband did not. He liked it, he just didn't love it like I did. We did however find a house we both loved! It's a little further away from my mom's house; in no way within walking distance like the other. The catcher...it isn't completely done. It's still being built. It's a 5br 3 ba like the other, but we have the feeling no one's been interested in it because, well honestly, it's on a pretty crappy lot. It has no backyard and some drainage issues. The person who designed the house for that lot was/is definitely an amateur and didn't know what they were doing. It's not anything that can't be fixed and hopefully we'll get it resolved before we actually "buy" it. Ohh, how this house is gorgeous problems and all. Now, if we could only sell ours for the amount of money we actually need to get, in order to buy the other.

Anyone want to buy a beautifully remodeled home for no less than $880,000? With the way the market is right now, it looks as if we may be staying put for a while...
