We made an offer, received a counter-offer that we sort-of expected, and signed off on it late Friday afternoon. From there, the realtor didn’t waste any time. We’ve got a home inspector coming out Monday morning, so that will be out of the way and really take care of the last of the hurdles we’re anticipating.

We were told we might be closing on the home as early as June 6, which would work well for us given that it’s a normal day off for us and we wouldn’t have to use any vacation time. We’d like to have two rooms painted and two rooms carpeted before we move in, so for now the plan is to close June 6 or 7, have the work done that week, then move in June 12-13.

Air conditioning is a must-have for us but we’ll probably wait a week or two before having that done.
