We made a fresh offer on the first home again. We just have not found a home we like as much as this one. Our realtor is more confident that this offer is sweet enough to make the seller move on it. We are hopeful and should hear something by Monday. They do have an open house scheduled for tomorrow, but it is supposed to be stormy here, let it rain! If they accept the offer, we will have to save about $8000 in the next 8 weeks. That is doable, but we will have to tighten down the purse-strings to pull it off. Hopeful once again.
