It has been a bit of a whirlwind the past couple of weeks. We had an offer on Harvest Moon House on July 27th, which we countered. They came back with a 2nd offer and we countered that with 2 options. They agreed to one of them and our house went through an inspection this past Saturday. We don't have the results, yet, but we remain confident that all should be well and that we will close on the house September 15th, with one week thereafter to be fully moved out.
So......we have been looking for a rental in Valpo, where Chris works and where I might attend grad school. We have also toyed with the idea of buying in Valpo and are going to see a few prospects Thursday nite with our friend and (new) realtor, Bart.
I do have a lead on a fantastic rental house in Valpo (that I found on Craigslist) and after Chris and I spoke last nite about how he should continue to look for a job at universities in Chicago, we are leaning strongly toward our original plan of renting for a year. It is what we would have done when moving out to Colorado, so it isn't crazy. We just aren't sure for how much longer we want to be tied to Northwest Indiana and owning a home would put us at a slight disadvantage should we want to move to Chicago or Colorado.
Purging has begun and packing is soon to follow!
