In Escrow

Vero and I just went into escrow on a house. We had made an offer on this house a couple weeks ago but they accepted the only other offer on the table. The other buyers did their inspections and requested credits based on them, but the sellers either didn't want to concede any credits or not enough. So they failed to come to agreement and we re-submitted our offer. I reviewed the home inspection report and decided that it was still worth taking on without requesting credits. The inspection report was pretty extensive and there is a lot of work to be done but it is in move-in condition and I believe that from my experience I can prioritize between what needs to be done right away, what can wait, what I can do, and what will require a professional. It'll be an on-going project, but that's kind of what we were looking for in a house.

We're supposed to lift contingencies on the 12th and close escrow on April 2. I'll try to keep my blog updated as things proceed. Since most of the inspections were done by the other buyer and we have copies, we're going to do just two other inspections: sewer later and chimney. Those are tomorrow morning. I'll try to take some pictures of the house to show.
