We found a house!

Yesterday we went to see a house in Apex and fell in love.  It definitely fits us right now and for the next few years...move in ready, open floor plan, garage, fresh paint and carpet. 

We made an offer at 3pm, got a call back at 530 and the seller's countered at the same asking price, $500 less in closing costs and close one day early!  So we're done...we're signing to final offer today.  We close May 21, so we'll start packing soon.

"countered at the same asking price," -the same offer price you submitted or at their original asking price?

Either way congrats since you are signing the contract! Hope everything goes smoothly!!!

We offered their asking price plus the sellers pay closing....all they countered with was $500 less in closing costs and close one day earlier.  I think our closing estimate was a little high for the price of the house, which was fine with us.

The house was priced to sell quickly.  We asked list price because it's only been on the market for 3 days and we were also asking for closing costs.  We've found in the Cary/Apex market...good quality and reasonably priced homes don't last long.  The housing market in our price range is far from suffering here. 

Good luck toads getting an offer soon!
