Well it has been about a month and we have continued to view houses and have put offers on a few more houses. When we placed the offer on the previous house that I blogged about we didn’t hear a response back for two weeks! It would be nice to get a courtesy call to let us know another offer was accepted but sometimes these offices get really busy and those calls are just not made..BUT..I recieved an email from them informing us that the seller did send out an acceptance already and those buyers had already found a house. We were in the running again and they communicated with us some changes that would need to be made to the offer to stay competitive. Unfortunately, another buyer beat us out BUT we have been kept as a backup offer.
We also put an offer on a great house in the Canyon Ridge neighborhood of Riverside. This house is a short sale. Nikki & Matt liked the house but are not necessarily ”crazy” about it so we gave a decent offer and are gonna see what happens. And with it being a short sale we will have plenty of time to “see” what happens considering they emailed me to let me know that the process will be approximately 4-6 months with hopefully a positive outcome (I am not holding my breath). Don’t get me wrong, not all short sales are long and complicated but each individual circumstance is different and it is imperative that you have a knowledgable Realtor that will guide you thru the steps and know when to move forward or pull away and move on to the next deal. I explained to Nikki & Matt that we could go ahead and submit the offer and use it as a back up plan but we needed to continue to actively search for properties. I put some pictures of the house below.
