We have a purchase agreement!

March 10, 2009 Our adventure continues with buying a house. After more than a week of the seller not responding to our acceptance of their offer we finally have a signed purchase agreement as of today! Now we move forward toward closing. The only problem now is that our mortgage lender says they need 30 days to complete the mortgage process but we are supposed to close March 26 per our agreement. Everybody says it should not be an issue because the seller delayed us for so long. I am just praying everybody is right (everybody being our realtor, the realtor for the seller, our mortgage lender and some other people who know real estate sales. Here's hoping they are all right. At this point we are planning the closing to take place April 15th.

I have downloaded some more pics of the house. The first pic is the basement. I really like the wood on the walls. It's a nice family room space, there are several built in storage areas including a built in cedar chest bench. The basement has a laundry corner and the second bath (a 3/4 bath technically since it has a shower stall). I wish I had taken a picture of the paneling in the downstairs bathroom with the deer pictures on it or the saloon style door with the 1/2 moon cut out of it. In this pic you might notice the "watch your head" sign on the heat duct. The ceiling is pretty low down here. My nephew Sam won't be able to stand up fully!

This next pic is standing in the living room looking into the foyer. The last three are taken upstairs. One is taken standing in what will be the spare room looking out at the stairway. The next is the guest room closet. Ben's closet is really deep like this one too. And finally a pic taken standing in Ben's room looking out to the upstairs foyer and into the master bedroom.
