EDIT (5-12): Already got the call. We did not get the house. Boo!! Back to the drawing board, but I feel good knowing there are some beautiful houses out there for what we are able to spend!!

We just made an offer on a home. Wow! Talk about warp speed!!

Alright, now that I've had a bit to digest it, let me explain how all of this went down. As some of you know, we missed out on the awesome 100-year-old home in the center of Hebron. We learned quickly that things go on and off the market FAST!!! This market is nut-so with new home buyers. We looked at about 20 houses in the last two weeks, and actually went into 3 of them. 2 of those 3 were the trashiest, nastiest homes we had EVER been in.

Yesterday, I posted about the incredible $166k Dominion home in He.bron that we were "over the moon" about. I can't tell you how insane that house is. It's for sale for $114k. Well, after parting with our realtor, she called us at 10pm to say she had talked to the selling realtor and the house already has 4 offers on it. She said, "If you like it at all, you definitely want to make an offer no later than tomorrow!! This one is a BARGAIN!!" It really is! All the houses around it that have sold recently were sold in the upper $140's, but because this was a foreclosure, it is a steal! Here's a pic...



All of that being said, we, obviously, decided to make an offer. We did not offer what the bank has it priced as...but, I think we made a competitive offer. Now, we wait and see what happens. In our offer, we put that we wanted to close on July 2.

Really warp speed, but the house is fantastic. I would LOVE to live there! If I get a BFP this week AND we get accepted for the house, we will have achieved the American Dream in little over a week. HOLY COW!!
