We made an offer on a house. I haven't really been thinking coherently since Sunday. (I think most of what's going through my head is summed up by "!!!".)
Hopefully the seller will negotiate with us and not just reject it out of hand. Interest rates are amazing right now, and I really don't want to miss this window for buying.
The house: 3 bedroom, hardwood floors (redone last month), full unfinished (but floored) attic, full (partly finished) basement, gas/hot-air heat, air conditioning (holy crap, yes, a/c), 2 car detached garage, newer kitchen cabinets, newer roof, and an apple tree in the back yard by the garden. I mean, damn, it has pretty much everything we'd want (2 car garage, a/c, garden space, 3 bedrooms, storage space).
I'm terrified both by the idea of managing to get it and by the idea of not. One does not want to be too hopeful, since there are any number of things that could go wrong with it, but at the same time, one does not want to stick one's head in the sand and then have to scramble to get stuff down. Is it better to have wasted effort from unnecessary prep work, or to risk having to hurry? And of course, if it doesn't work out, we have to find another one.
