I headed back up north on August 6, not knowing what would happen.
The sellers counteroffered with us paying the extra $5,000 on top of the asking price with them paying the closing costs, and we accepted their offer.
The house was inspected on Thursday, and there were some things wrong with it that are concerning, but nothing that's a deal breaker. The worst of it really is that the wood on the base of the back patio is rotting, which could spread to the beams holding it up and then the actual house. We could replace it ourselves with pavers if we have to, and it wouldn't be extremely expensive.
Homeowners insurance is more expensive if you have a pool. I didn't know that. We got numerous quotes of $2000+, but we think we've found a place who will insure it for $1300 a year. I have my fingers crossed on that at least.
All that's left is the termite inspection on Monday, and if that goes well, we have to get it appraised by the VA. Barring any problems with that, the house will be ours at the beginning of October!
