Yesterday the estimate came back for the plumbing repairs and air conditioner service on the house - it was a little over $500! Just as we had thought. The inspector grossly underestimated the cost of all the repairs. We're now waiting on the estimate from the roofer. We think the buyer might have to choose which repairs she wants done now since it is definitely out of the question to do ALL of them! Maybe she can get the inspector to do all the repairs for $500 since he's the one who estimated the cost! The appraisal came in yesterday and it was good so everything else is working out. The appraiser only had two minor comments about the house, one was an extension cord in the garage (that plugs in the garage door opener) he wants that gone (guess she won't get a garage door opener) and he wasn't sure if the door that leads out of the garage opened because we had stuff in front of it (how stupid, just move the stuff and open the door!), our agent said the appraiser wants to charge a $100 fee to come out again and see if the door opens...wow, $100 to open a door! Once again we are waiting on estimates and decisions on repairs. I visited with our lender on the phone yesterday and got our pre-approval letter sent to our real estate agent. We'll be meeting with our lender when we travel to McAllen the week of the 18th. This week I'll be going through the MLS listings and picking out homes that look like good prospects, sure hope some good ones are out there!
Annabelle has not been sleeping well again. She has had some bad dreams and now thinks she needs to sleep with me! Sure hope she starts sleeping better before Siti and Papa come to stay with her!
