Most of you see the title and figure that we are closed on the new house and ready to move in. Well it's the exact opposite. The new house is back on the market and our current house is off the market.
Long story short our mortgage lender overlooked that our current house was under a FHA loan and we would need a FHA loan for the new house. He frantically called Garet about 2 weeks ago apologizing and scrambling to find any other way to have both houses at the same time. In the mean time we lowered the price on our current house in attempt to get a quick sale. Well neither idea worked...no one wanted to buy our house and there was no other possible way to change the loan on either house.
Yes we are bummed that we aren't getting the house, but we also have to remember how blessed we are to have jobs, a wonderful house, healthy family, great friends, and a beautiful healthy baby boy.
The game plan is: We are going to wait 6-8 months and then put our house back on the market and start looking for another dream home. If Garet or I can find jobs in Dallas in the next few months we might have to find that dream home there :)
We are firm believers that everything happens for a reason. For the next few months we will be looking for that reason and if anybody wants to help we would love it.
