We heard from our buyer’s agent yesterday – so far there are three other bids in on the house and ours is the best! The bank committee will make a decision on Thursday and then we’ll know for sure.
I’ve added some more pictures of the house (really – they’re the last!) and I’m going [...]

We put in a bid today on the cabin! (Probably one of the few 2000 square foot houses called a “cabin,” but the name is pretty fixed in our heads now.) Hopefully it won’t take the full 7-10 days for them to get back to us that it said on the special conditions. [...]
