Fingers, Toes, Arms and Legs

From our spy cove across the street and behind some forsythia bushes, we took note of the time, 6:02 p.m.  That’s the time our potential buyers arrived at our house for the third time.  At 6:40 p.m. they finally emerged from the house, walked over to the garage, talked and then took pictures.  They took pictures of the garage.  Either they are going to make an offer or they are cataloging our items so they can steal them.  They stayed until approximately 6:50 p.m., 20 minutes past their scheduled showing time had ended.

I’m going with the first explanation, that an offer will be forthcoming.  Won’t you join me in crossing your fingers, toes, arms and legs for luck?  I am on pins and needles.

    2. Oh – taking pictures – that means they want to send them to someone to show them the house they’re going to buy! Keep us posted!!! Good Luck!!!!

    3. I hope they’re not casing the place but in this lousy sub-prime disaster, hopefully they’re qualified and buy the house. Good luck.

    5. All appendages are crossed…even my eyes and boobs. Ok, not my boobs.
    I just hope some of this also rubs off for my Mom who really needs to sell too.

    8. I have decided that selling a house is an unauthorized form of torture. We are in such limbo right now the stress is killing me. We are moving from NC to GA and need to get this wrapped up in about 8 weeks (we’ve been planning since last Oct and officially listed March 1). We have a back-up contingency offer on the house we LOVE in GA but we HAVE to sell this one and close by June 16th – if our offer even makes it through. First we have to wait and see if the contract before us goes through. Apparently they have shaky financing.
    We have an Open House scheduled for Sunday and my Realtor says that several people have called from the info box flyers.
    I hope you get your offer. And I hope we get one too.

    10. I’m cramping up here, so please let us know when the offer comes through so I can uncross….

    11. Maybe they just want to buy the garage…

    12. Good luck, good luck, good luck! I even crossed my eyelashes for you!

    13. Deryck: Seriously. They are very patient people. I am not.
    WG: I so agree with you. I hope things work out for you. It’s so stressful.
    The way I see it, I’m earning my jacuzzi tub at my new house.
    Jamie: Thank you!
    TT: I am too! I will let you know.
    Junebee: That would be my luck.
    Karen: Thanks. Don’t hurt yourself with those eyelashes!
