After having looked at a few other houses, we decided that despite the fact that Aug is not a great time to close it was worth the wait. We dropped our offer to cover the cost of our rent for Aug and we actually have a signed contract. Woo Hoo! Now for the wonders of inspections. . .

We sent off all the signed documents to be signed by the seller on friday. We returned from vacation yesterday and found out that the seller's wife needs surgery so they now want to close Aug 24. Sigh. We need to renegotiate the terms. Sigh.
