Nothing is ever planned, because planned things go awry.
The estate agent has informed me.... drum roll please...
that they are taking the house off the market.
(booo)
Estate Agent: I don't know if you understood when you were seeing the property that Mrs. ____ has not determined where they're moving to yet. It's based on the school she wants to put her child in and she has to wait for approval (from the council...etc...etc...) she feels really bad and has asked us to take it off of the market... she feels like she's leaving you kind of hanging.
~pause on my side, I'm still making my way through the accent and old brain cells~
EA: "Do you feel like you're left hanging?"
Me: "Uh, well, yes, kinda" (I'm not really sure what she's saying, I'm still trying to decipher).
EA: "She didn't want you to put your notice in when she can't give you a definite answer of when she's moving".
Me: "...oh...ok, I understand..."
EA: (realizing that I'm not quick like a bunny, I only reproduce like one) "She wants you to have the house, but she can't commit to being out in January. So she wants to take it off of the market and as soon as she knows when she's moving for sure, you will be contacted. She's not showing it to anyone else, so when the time comes, it's yours if you want it, but she understands if you make other arrangements"
~hey... this isn't the gloomy cave I thought we were conversationally heading towards~
Me: Well, we weren't really looking for a place (I think she hears it in my voice, the rise, the I'm-about-to-jump-up-and-down and-shout-"YeeHaw!-but-not-100% sure-I'm-understanding-her lift). We just saw this house and... it was actually putting us in a little bit of a spot because we wanted to give our landlady a heads up.."
EA: "Well, I am going to take it off of the website right now, I didn't want to do that until I talked to you, but it's yours when she knows more about her own move."
I excitedly got the rest of the pictures off the site while she finished talking to me. Nothing like planning a move when you can't remember what the house looks like.
So it's unofficial.
We're moving!
some day.
We're moving!
some day.
I supposed things happen for a reason.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess that's kind of good. I think? At least if/when she moves, you get first dibs! (and you don't have to find a new place right now)
ReplyDeleteMy response is the ditto of Tee...I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, as it is meant to be. There are days we are simply here for the ride, so tighten your seat belt.
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
~AirmanMom returning to her blog...
HA!
ReplyDeleteWell, good luck with that
some day -
LOL! Well yay. :) I think.
ReplyDeleteYour so funny, but I could wait for a house like that. So now it's my turn to have brian cell gliches; are you renting it or BUYING it? Just wait the timing will be perfect, that's the way God works.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm sorry things didn't work out this time, but I hope you get in there eventually.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little concerned that you enjoy moving so much though. I'd rather have a root canal without novocaine. Again.
Well, carp, hon. I hope you get to do it again soon-ish?
ReplyDeleteI am with chris-anything but moving again--really. Are you high energy or highly organized or both?? THose are the only reasons I can think of to want to move so much! If either one of those are the answer--I have dibs on you for my next---next door neighbor!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll get just the right amount of notice to move into the fab new place.
ReplyDeleteWell then I UNofficially say congratualtions and wish you good luck on your move. SOmeday.
ReplyDeleteaw shucks! Well, I guess it's still kind of good news. I agree though, these things happen for a reason. We tried to refinance last year, but nothing went right. I'm so glad it didn't work out, because since then, the market really bottomed out, and we would be WAY in over our heads now.
ReplyDeleteSo good luck when it happens!
What the?! I'd be so upset at the ups and downs of this!! Hugs!
ReplyDeletehey hey it doesn't sound that bad doesn't it? She WILL move eventually right? just a matter of time and then *YEAH* you'll have your dream house! *wink*
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for an imminent move then! xoxo
ReplyDeleteIf that isn't screaming "you're meant to be together" nothing is. The lady who wants you to have it but doesn't know when to move, and the family that wants it, and will move at the drop of a hat. Kinda. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Or isn't it? No! IT IS!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to work out!
How exciting is that?! So exciting!
It's not just you. I didn't understand what she was getting at either.
ReplyDeleteBut hooray! That is fabulous news! Congratulations!!!!
maybe exectly what you need to happen will happen.
ReplyDeleteblessings, kathleen
I'm speechless. Really, I am. (Which you should know is a big deal after the long posts and comments I usually write.)
