So we found a house we love it was listed at 94.9K and we put a bid on it for 80K........ and they sent a counter offer of 92.9K, we then sent another higher bid of 87K........ and then the seller did not respond for 2 days she then said she would not look at our offer. She did not say no straight out but she did not give us a counter offer. What the fuck! All she needs to say is no or this is the price I want to sell at and I am going no lower, but she did not say anything of that. Everything we have gotten from our Realtor is that she is angry and belligerent. WHY? What did we do, nothing. We think she is waiting for her open house this weekend to see if she could get a better offer. The house has already been on the market for 115 days and they have had no buyers. I wonder if this is the reason why, is the owner always doing this when someone makes a bid that she does not like.
Just so frustrated.

Talking
So right now Rob and Heather are not talking to each other, actually its more so Rob is not talking to Heather. This has been going on for 2 weeks so far. I don't talk about this on the blogger at all normally but I know mostly my friends read this and they wont say anything to any one involved.
Heather has been having trouble with credit cards for a long time, and this has been causing problems with Rob and Heather off and on in their relationship. I'm pretty sure that she learned her habits from her parents, most of her sisters have the same credit card issues. Rob and Heather have dealt with her past very large credit card debt by consolidating it on a loan with her credit union, the only problem is that a credit card is attached to that account. Rob cut up the card with her name on it and had his card locked away. Heather still has one personal credit card that she is allowed to have with a very low limit.
Well this winter we all decided to us the card to get some repairs on her car that where much needed and to buy a new projector as a group present, that was all the card was supposed to be used for. So about two weeks ago Rob went and looked at the credit card statement and found at that Heather had been using the card from the moment they took it out of hiding. She bought a few large purchases and then lots of little purchases thru the month of November and December. Rob was so so mad, he found out that the bank mailed her a new card with her name on it because the card had expired and that was what she was using. This has happened before, where she has used the card and should not have been, but it had been awhile a go so Rob had thought that she was getting better. The night that he tried to talk to her about it she told him that she gotten cared away because of Christmas but since December she has stopped using it. Then her phone rang upstairs and she left to go answer it instead of staying down stairs to talk to Rob. Since then he will not talk to her, he is waiting for her to come to him and talk about the card. She talks to him but will not bring up the card, so he does not talk back. Now the new month has come and the credit card statement was received but has disappeared, Rob can not find it.
All of this has created a very unhappy feeling in the house most of the time. I keep trying to tell Rob he should talk to Heather but he is too mad, Heather says she has tried but Rob wont talk back. Now I am worried that Heather is going to leave if things don't get cleared up soon. This is all on top of the fact that we are looking at houses and even about to make an offer on one. I don't know what is going to happen I wish that they would just talk to each other.

New Houses
So we looked at some more houses yesterday and today and it turned out well. We saw one house on Friday that we really liked and today we found one that we loved. We have decided to make an offer and see where it goes.
The house has 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, Living room, Dining Room, Newer Kitchen, closed in Florida room, large basement, new windows, and a very large and accessible attic. With some wok the Attic could be finished to make another large room. A nice backyard, 1.5 garage, and a generator.
The only small bad points are no ac, and radiator heating. The radiator heating is not so bad, most are covered with really nice covers and they keep the house really warm.
We are really excited, we don't want to get our hopes up because we still have a lot to go thru before it is all done and the house is actually ours so cross your fingers for us please.

Houses 2 & 3
So tonight we are going to look at houses number 2 & 3. Number 1 was bad, really bad. The guy who lived there with his son did all these little repairs to try to make the house look good but I think it just made it worse. The downstairs bathroom had a nice new toilet, Sink with one of those bowls that sit on top of the stand and a beautiful mirror cabinet thing. But then the wall was covered with this crappy wall paper and the tile on the floor and half of the wall was all beat up and did not meet the wall paper. The tub was also old and crappy. All the downstairs rooms had been painted but the guy had not even bothered to remove any nails or screws he just painted over them. The carpet was just nailed down with no pad underneath and it was crappy carpet. Then you go upstairs and nothing had been done, right in the stairwell the wall had holes all over it and was really dirty. The roof and the wall did not meet you could see the insulation it was so bad. I can't believe how much he was asking for that house. The basement was bad too, you could tell the one wall leaked and there where pipes leaking as well. The wall that leaked also had mold all over it, I don't know how this guy expects to sell his house.
We are really hoping that these next two houses are better, I will post more once we get back tonight.
After:
House number 2
Good: Had 4 bedrooms and a nice big garage and back porch, Two bathrooms and a somewhat half finished basement.
Problems: The Master bedroom was down stairs and small, there was no bath room upstairs, both bathrooms where on the main floor actually right next to each other. The kitchen was very outdated, all of the basement finishing was home owner done and not very well. One of the bedrooms upstairs was the size of a walk in closet, and the furnace was old.
House number 3
Good: Very big, nice size rooms and good carpet. New Furnace was put in in 2010.
Problems: Far away from all of our works, Old old house late 18 hundreds. Kitchen was redone, but was shoddy and poorly laid out, Could tell that the house was settling towards the middle because all the floors where sloping towards the middle. All updates seemed shoddy and basement was the original from when the house was build. Scary bit the foundation is being held up by two by fours, scary.
So for right now no house.
