Well, just when I was getting cozy and comfy in my head again, along comes the news that the people who were interested in our house may NOT get the foreclosure that they went for first! In my mind, I would think that faced with that situation, the bank would take what it could get rather than risk losing more. Not so, apparently. Our realtor said that essentially they want every penny they can get in these situations, and she has seen them reject "reasonable" offers on properties! These folks "low-balled" it, just to see if they could get a good deal, I imagine.
Sooooo!....when I had, in my head, decided that they as much as got the other place and the 2nd offer would never come our way....watch out! As much as I'd still hate moving in the dead of winter, the good thing about the bank taking their time and delaying the process is that we won't have to worry about it before Christmas (which would have been the case if they'd just plain offered on our place first).
I guess my song of "Don't Get Comfortable" really does fit!
