tgrimes - I'm seriously wondering who in the universe is trying to stop you from spending money on yourself. Also in my mind you are not petite, you are my height. Actually everyone is my height. We can't ever meet now because it's going to really mess with my head. I'm 5'4" and I have short legs. Lol. How tall are you?

Used to be closer to 5'7" but apparently I'm already shrinking. I also hold my height in my torso so I really enjoyed the days of heels and trouser pants, which made anyone's legs look long.

Also hi! I was in training all.freaking.day. Plus a four hour commute with two colleagues so no time to be social here, because I needed to be social with them. It’s almost 9 and I’m so tired I’m off to bed.

Had a visit with my OB and all looks good. Got my TDAP.
My Immunologist's office left a voicemail asking me to participate in some huge NIH study so I guess I need to call need to call them back and see what that's all about.

guster that is so frustrating. When we were looking, we must have made 20 offers and we were always losing out to cash offers. Annoying.

guster I sent my mom a text to see why a seller would prefer a higher down payment vs a higher overall offer. Will report back.

And she's fast... She said the seller should always accept the highest offer unless there was something else in the other offer that made the deal look better, such as an all cash deal (faster closing) or closing costs paid.

I wonder if they liked the more cash up front offer because they are afraid the house will appraise lower than list price with the mortgage company. So if you buy a $300,000 house and put down $20k the house needs to at least appraise for $280k or the mortgage will fall through. If they put $200,000 then that fear of low appraisal disappears. Is this the house that was listed for 2 years guster? I wonder if that happened before so more cash is appealing. When we sold our condo the market had just gotten hot so the comps didn't justify the price yet but the ones still in the closing process did. Our buyers put down the difference between appraisal and the list price in cash so it wouldn't cause the mortgage to fall through. peachsmama, the reason cash is best is because you don't have to worry about the mortgage falling through like the scenario above. It's also less of a pain usually.

guster - There's also maybe a chance that in their 2 years on the market, they had buyers whose loan fell through? My parents dealt with that last year and they were pretty wary in general after that experience.

I always feel like a child when I'm with a group of people and we're standing. I wish I was just 3 inches taller.
