boy. the stuff that can happen in just one week!

after we decided we weren't backing down, i started to have doubts about whether we had made the right decision. i'm sure part of it had something to do with the fact that i wanted the house even more, now that i couldn't have it. but after we started hunting for houses again, it became clear that this house had all the things we needed in a house, and was cheaper than other houses that were on the market with the same specs.

over the weekend, i called poyu and told her that cavin and i were going to send her a list of new prospective houses we wanted to see. i also expressed my doubts about the house we just backed out of. because i brought it up, she then proceeded to tell me that the other agent called her a few days before, saying that maybe we could still work through this, because she thought ours was a good offer.

this brought light to the situation: was it possible that the seller realized his mistakes only one week later? both cavin and my mom knew that the seller was going to come back to us, but thought that it wouldn't happen so quickly.

the skinny: the seller got the integral plumbing work done. monday we made a new offer, and the seller chose our offer over the other three that were on the table. we are getting the warranty for the plumbing work transferred over to us. settlement date is still july 31, unless the seller and us agree on a date sooner (this will be highly dependent on whether the seller buys a new house sooner than later).

we will probably have a detox party before year's end so get your drinking / dancing shoes on!
