Just made an offer on a cute little house in West Seattle. I’m excited, because the price is reasonable and it is approximately the same commute distance to/from downtown Seattle. It’s the best house we’ve looked at, and it doesn’t appear to have anything “wrong” with it — at least, without an inspection. That’s up next.
I guess some people will waive inspection just to buy a house. Seems insane to me. I would guess that home owners insurance and/or home warranty companies would have some trouble with that, too.
I’ll find out tomorrow if my offer was accepted, or if I’ll be hanging out at the fax machine, getting my initiallin’ hand ready.

Ok! So what’s the word? We’re dying to find out!

I’m not sure yet. The offer was turned in to a “backup” offer, meaning if the people who came second don’t like the house after inspection, then me (the one who was first) gets to try.
Apparently, an “all cash” offer was made, so that’s why the second people are getting first dibs. I’m not entirely sure why cash matters when I have a mortgage approval, and it all goes through escrow anyways.
