I think they know their house is worth right around $193k-$196k and that they would have gotten more money out of us than that $200k offer once the appraisal came back. So October 30th cannot come fast enough

Congrats George hope all goes well for you. We've also got a closing set for 10/30... just waiting to see how the appraisal on our home (tomorrow) and the home that we're purchasing (not sure on timeline yet) will go.

Finally closed on my refinance this week after 3 months. They were so inundated with so many closings it took this long. Madness.

We locked in at 2.5%.

My student loans were down to 0.4%. Thats not a typo.

Outside the delay, it was great.

George... you still on track?

We bumped our closing up and closed 2 days ago. Just painted the entire interior of our current home and replaced the only remaining original carpet that we had yesterday. Going to attempt to sell it myself, w/o realtor. I've got a fallback option for a realtor if I need it. I'm just not interested in paying someone $6k (assuming I still pay the buying realtor $6k... which I may negotiate into the home price). Having gone through the buying process using dual agency, I think I've got a pretty good grasp on this. It also helps being in a pretty desirable area right now, so negotiations shouldn't be too complex.

We do our final walk around tonight and close on Friday. Cannot wait to get in our own house. It's been close to 75 days
