| Our home inspection went well. A few minor things to fix up. Waiting on the Radon report to come back and if all is well we will be moving on to the next hurdle of the buyer getting her financing all set to close on April 30th. In the meantime we are still homeless! The picture above is an old mansion that was converted to condos some years ago. This is in a beautiful neighborhood on the golf course. The minute we drove down the winding roads to this address and then stepped inside these vintage and charming estate condos we were blown away by the charm and location. We put a good bid in over asking and have a good down payment with the April close but unfortunately we did not win the bidding war. I was so bummed and disappointed. I thought how great to find something so unique and charming. We would be leaving our charming home and this charming condo in a great location. Unfortunately someone else won the bid. While I am sad and disappointed I know there will be something better out there for us. We are in a crunch but not in a panic just yet. Hoping and praying something in this charming building will again open up for sale or we will find another condo soon. Have a beautiful week ahead. Keep good thoughts and prayers going we will find a new place soon. |

I've been thinking about you...so sorry you didn't win the bidding war for this beautiful condo, but that means there is something even better out there for you. I remember when we were house hunting (31 years ago!) and we thought we found the house of our dreams, bid on it, then didn't get it. We were young and had a two year old and another baby on the way. I cried because I thought this was really THE house. Lo and behold, the house we live in now came on the market and we got it. And it's better than the original house we bid on. There's always a reason. I know the perfect place is out there for you guys and that all will work out. {{hugs}}
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that didn't work out. I hate bidding wars. I hope that you will be able to find something soon.
ReplyDeleteOh Kris....first of all, what a GORGEOUS place! This was once a stand-alone home? Amazing. And with the age of the property, I can imagine that the individual condos must be full of character! So you are waiting for another unit to open up in this building? I hope things work out for you to get a space in this place and then again, there are other places. I wish you success my friend, as you go out into the unknown. BIG HUGS and many wishes and prayers for your new home!!!
ReplyDeleteThat place does look lovely. I am sorry you didn't win the bid.
ReplyDeleteI hope you all are able to win a bid on another one in this location if availability, soon! It sure does look charming..wow. So sorry you had to be disappointed..been there before...and I don't know about you..but once before on our first home purchase..I was already mentally arranging our furniture in there, and when it did not work out..I was so disappointed.. :0( .. But..you are so creative..I know whatever works out..your head will spin quickly to make it your cozy and personal heaven. :0). Like a phrase in a bluegrass song we know: "life's a journey, not a destination".. Best wishes on this journey for your Family.. x0x0
ReplyDeleteLiving in this beautiful mansion would have been wonderful, but you will find something you may like even better. Still praying for the right home for you and Terry. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am hoping that there is something better out there for you both. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you both find someplace great. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteGlad the inspection went well! How disappointing not to win the bid on the condo. I hope something comes up for sale soon or you find someplace equally charming. Bidding wars are only good if you're the seller. Frustrating for the buyer! Praying for y'all!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cecilia
Y'all will find the perfect home, I know you will! More homes will come on the market as spring arrives.
ReplyDeleteOh Kris I’m so disappointed for you. Maybe another unit will become available. My mom always said “Put it in Gods hands”. Hugs my friend
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry it didn't work out. Hoping another will pop on the market, you never know.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you in my thoughts as always.
Hugs,
Cindy
Oh Kris, I am so sorry you did not win the winning war. It looks like a beautiful building in a lovely surrounding. Good thoughts and prayers you will find the perfect place for you two. Keep your chin up. I know the disappointment can be over whelming. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhen one door closes another always opens. Continue to hold the two of you in my thoughts for finding the perfect condo soon.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you were not successful with your bid. Yes - it does look gorgeous, but as others have already said, it was just not meant to be and I'm also sure that something better will come up for you. It was like that for us, the sale of our cottage fell through and I was devastated, but when it did sell, our perfect home came up for sale, and here we are. I hope that all continues to go well on your sale and that perfect home for you comes onto the market very soon. Hugs, Gilly
ReplyDeleteKris do you think you will be happy without ayard to make beautiful as i know feom your blog you do love to do this
ReplyDeleteOh, it is pretty! That's a hard disappointment and I'll pray that you find just the right place next time.
ReplyDeleteWait! What???? I have missed something. You moving???? Email me!!!! Why??? Relocating?? I missed something. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteThat mansion is gorgeous! Wow.. maybe something else will open up there, even better. I must have missed the WHY of why you are moving! Did Terry have to transfer his job again to somewhere else? are you staying in the same area? It's sad to see you leave your darling cottage #4!!! I'll go search your blog and see if I can find the answers! hugs... Marilyn
ReplyDeleteKris, that looks so beautiful. I'm sorry you didn't win the bid, but for the first time out look what you found. Perfect is just a short while away..Stay well..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteWow Kris that was quite the place! Darn that you didn’t win the bidding war. I have to believe you will find something quickly though. Praying for a good find for you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on selling so quickly, I'm sorry you didn't win the condo but that just means something better is waiting for you!
ReplyDeletePraying for you Kris. I do understand what an emotional time this is.
ReplyDeleteSending love your way!!
So sorry that you did not win the bidding war on this beautiful condo. When my parents got older they considered moving to a condo. Often association fees are quite high. They decided that paying for lawn care & snow removal would be less than having to pay the condo fees. They were happy they made the decision to stay in their home. I say this because if you enjoy being in a small home maybe that can still work for you & be more economical. I’m sure you have looked at the pros and cons & will make the best decision for the two of you. Hoping the perfect home comes to you soon !!!
ReplyDeleteSomething even btter will come along! It probanly will be in an unexpected place! Keep hope.
