Jess and I have decided to buy a house. We had decided this before, but didn't have the time to do it in, so now we're starting again. However, because of our price range, I'm having a hard time finding anything special or different. But three or four days ago, I found almost everything I was looking for in a home. Jess really liked it too. But I wasn't too sure about the area. I told my Dad what I thought of it, showed him pictures, and he was very impressed. So, last night, on our way home, Jess and I drove by it. It is in a GREAT neighboorhood. I picked up a flyer and when I got home I went to the realtor's website. Next to the property, the site says "Sale Pending".
I'm not sure what that means (did someone make an offer? was an offer accepted? is paperwork actually being filled out? what?) but it's a bit upsetting because we both really liked it. None the less, we'll keep looking.
It may be for the best since our lease isn't up until September. Breaking the lease here might not be a good idea since we currently receive consession and would have to repay all of it (to the tune of about $300/month). We would have to pay about $3000 to get out of our lease.
