So last Saturday, the sellers on the new house verbally accepted the offer and said they would sign it Monday. Monday morning came and we were then told there were 3 offers being considered and we had until noon Tuesday to change our offer or keep it "as is".
We decided to keep it as we originally offered and endure the wait, praying God would hold it for us if it was our house. All day Tuesday we were anxiously waiting an answer, but were at peace with whatever the decision would be. After quite a bit of back-and-forth phone calls between our realtor and theirs we learned there were now a total of 5 offers and ours was in the top two.
We talked with our realtor at 6:30pm and decided to up our offer by roughly $4,000 to match the other offer. At 9:00 we received a call saying they had once again accepted our offer and were in the process of signing our offer. It was hard to wait it out, but perhaps God is teaching us patience for the road ahead as we await a placement for adoption.
We are praising God for a house we LOVE and is more than we could have asked for. We look forward to filling it with our growing family!
