O.K. been a month now :(

oh what an update I have. we found a house. 'ages' ago. we had seen it on a Saturday, 1st day.. emailed Stacey right away, called Stacey, called Stacey's assistant. Sunday we drove out and looked at it at 9am. 3 bed, 2 bath, huge living room, huge kitchen, awesome garage (with a loft!), decent sized yard.  listed at $134,900
we went back to Stacey's office to fill out our offer. that in itself took hours as well. lots of paperwork goes into an REO property, bank-owned property.  offered $130,000
Monday waited, Tuesday waited.. then find out it has to be on the market for 5 days first before we can submit an offer. waited 3 more days, then Stacey resubmitted our offer.
then we had paperwork.. and more paperwork.. and more paperwork. 
we did our inspections Monday (yesterday). home inspection, & termite inspection. 
escrow started December 1st (yesterday).   
when filing the offer, we requested November 28th as finance deadline.. and we requested December 19th as close of escrow.. we also requested termite and septic covered by seller (bank). when offer was accepted they denied our request for termite and septic, and adjusted finance deadline to December 19th (same day as close of escrow).
now we wait. 


NOTHING new on the job market - zero still. 
applied to more positions, no luck as yet. 
keep ya posted..
