New House?!

We have officially rescinded our offer on the house. How crazy is that. Hopefully they will just sign it and send us our earnest money back. They tried to say the cabinets they put in were more expensive, higher end. Well, even though I'm sure they're full of crap-regardless, if the cabinets did cost more they are still ugly and not what we thought we were getting. They did offer to change the trim. I was more willing to live with the trim than the cabinets. And they admitted we were supposed to get darker cabinets and these aren't but no excuse or reason as to why. So we are done with those people. I am actually relieved. It would be more nerve racking if we had no other option and thought we may be living in this apt forever! But we made an offer on a house we both really love. And after looking at a few more, we realize this may have been meant to be. This new house is laid out more how we want, it's gorgeous, C and I both really really love it, the yard is bigger, flatter, and a Huge thing I was giving up on the other house that I really wanted (especially if buying new) the laundry room is upstairs. So, we have been countered on our offer, but we accepted their counter- should be officially good to go later today. And closing should be I think around the 1st of Oct. I'm excited but in shock! And even though these people seem normal (well the builder) I am still nervous since the last time it was a fiasco. Keep your fingers crossed it all works out!

Jeff, my attorney that I keep on retainer :), said you should get your earnest money back because he changed the contract by changing the cabinets. Make sure you check on it!

This whole situation stinks, but everything happens for a purpose!
