{2 Houses @ Once}

Well....Friday we put a bid in on a house. And, as usual....once we did, the next day we found ANOTHER one that we liked too! So the one on Friday is a short sale (as are all the others we've bid on!) and the one we found on Saturday morning is NOT! So we went out to Corona to meet with Grandma and Papa for Meghann's birthday lunch and then went with our realtor in the afternoon to look @ the 2nd house. And we put a bid in on that one too! Hopefully we'll get ONE of them! That would be nice! It's a strange, annoying, crazy process buying a house in this upside-down market. So many people bought when the market was REALLY high and with REALLY bad loans....so they are all having to get out of bad loans, hence all the "short sales" on the market right now. Problem is...the agents are listing lots of these properties at such low prices that the banks aren't taking any of the offers because they don't want to lose that much $$$. So we just keep doing what we can....checking the MLS, looking @ houses, and putting in bids. We keep praying about it that the Lord will deliver us into the home that is right for us. It's much easier when it's in His hands. Takes a lot of pressure off! Hopefully soon you'll see a blog post titled, {We're Moving!}
