What happened to your real estate transaction, Cherry? I hope yours went through just fine. One of us should make it!

About me, I did not get that house. Someone outbid us by almost $500K, yes, you read that right.

We will move everything into the storage this Thursday, live in one of my parents' houses until 8/15, then we will be moving into the University housing. We would not move into the house I thought we would get, we will be in a 5000 sft house, over 1000sft more than the other house, so much space, so little use!

And house hunting continues.

A half a million!!! There is nothing I can say...

My sister told me last night, there was a house about 10 min away from her place paid $1 mil over asking price! how insane

Hi Ladies, it's almost 5000 sft, 5 bed, 4.5 bath, 2 home offices, the mud room is almost 200 sft. The kitchen has two dishwashers and two microwaves. I made a rash decision to get this house. I have to actively look for my "bungalow"

Hi Cherry, we in the US obviously got the wrong idea from the Europeans:)

It's a room where, when you come from the outside, you would leave your shoes, raincoat, umbrella ... there.

On to the next house, keep your fingers crossed for me, Ladies. If I get it which I will know by tomorrow evening, there will be at least another another 4-6 months of renovation before I can use the house.
