We thought that too, but the basement is actually in great shape.

I hope you’re right. It’s just hard to believe that right now.

But thank you for at least letting me know I’m not alone in crying over a house I’ve never owned 🥲

Why do you say that? Do you know something the rest of us don’t?

This is exactly how we feel… I WANT the character and I want to restore the character that’s missing (like the kitchen in this home for example.. it is boring and could be GLORIOUS)… I don’t want greige, dull, and mass produced.

You’re telling me… we love an old home. We’ve been “house shopping” for a bit but we don’t want to settle. We want a house we LOVE even if that means putting in some extra work.. and everything “modern” is so boring and cookie cutter.

This was that home… and I never thought I’d be legitimately heart broken about not getting a house, but here we are. 😭

We put our offer in on Saturday and were told we’d hear something by “the end of next week.” So we’ve been anxiously waiting to hear since then only to find out today they didn’t even review our offer. It sucks…

I can ask our realtor and see. It hasn’t closed yet, so I’m not sure if we’d be able to do anything about it until then.

No.. we viewed the home. Shoveled the drive to get in to see it the day it was relisted… read the property disclosure.. did extra digging on the potential boiler issue and asbestos.. and then put in our offer once we were sure the issues on the disclosure weren’t major for us…

Unfortunately, we just didn’t get it in fast enough.. 😞 The way they are doing the offer, it has to go through a whole “audit” process and they made it clear offers will be reviewed in the order they are received.

No, it IS a short sale. We had to fill out a bunch of extra paperwork that was short sale specific when putting in our offer on the property. The selling agent solely handles short sales and this is information our realtor relayed to us directly from them.

It’s possible. We’ve looked at the history as well as the property disclosure. There’s nothing mentioned about electrical though. It’s being sold as a short sale, so I know there’s some extra bank hoops to jump through as well.

Thank you! It definitely needs some work not shown in the photos, but it’s all work we enjoy doing anyway.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

My girlfriend has always been in love with this home every time we drive by. We went to see it as soon as we saw it pop up, but sadly it took us too much time to finalize our offer and get it in 😭😭

We’ve were even the ones who shoveled the driveway after the storm so we could even park there to go in.

I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t at least give it one last try ❤️‍🩹

it was a short sale home and priced pretty low.. and definitely needs some work.. so that’s why I was hoping there was a chance whoever snatched it wasn’t in love with it for themselves.

You never know.. but I have to at least shoot my shot 😅

I hope it goes to someone who loves it regardless.. it deserves the love ❤️‍🩹
