Speaking of Investing in Houses...

On Thursday, we saw the house we've been stalking and loved it. It was listed at $125,000, and on Friday, after consulting with knowledgeable family members, we offered $112,000. Late Friday afternoon, the seller counter-offered with $115,000, and we accepted! It's going to contract today. I have not been this happy in quite some time. Pancake and I are keeping our fingers crossed that all goes smoothly.
