And we're bidding!

We enjoyed the neighborhood--dinner was tasty, and there's a good variety of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the house. I'm okay with the size--I guess bigger is better than smaller for a starter home, right? We wouldn't have to move even if we have two kids until they got a bit bigger.

Our agent advised a bid of $20k or even $25k under the listing. She ran the comps, and it would be a good deal but still a fair price. Mr. EBB ran the numbers, and $20k under is the max I feel comfortable with, so we're just going to start there and if they counter....tough. I really can't imagine they'd do the same thing twice. They've already moved out, and carrying this mortgage plus the staging costs can't be fun.

Cross your fingers!
