More disappointment.
So, both the back up lots that we've been negotiating on, the guy has decided now, after 4 years of trying to sell them, he is going to give them to his son. And the next lot that we were considering has been sold in the meantime.
We have one last option. We hopefully can get it, since it is owned by our builder, but he wants about $5K more than it is work (that is what he has into it). We'd probably even be willing to pay the extra, just to get this taken care of, but it is right next door to DH's coworker. She wasn't all that pleased that their boss bought the house across the street from her, so I'm not sure what she would think if we bought the lot next door. DH seems to think she won't mind, because he isn't her boss, and is going to talk to her today. He is also going to talk to our builder today. If this doesnt' work out, I think we are really really done.
So very disappointing. Plus, it sucks that we don't even particularly like the lot. It isn't a BAD lot, it is just our 5th choice, which just doesn't seem quite as great. And it is smaller than the other lots we have been looking at.
Re: More disappointment.
I think at this point, you just need to do what's best for your family, regardless of what his coworker thinks. It would be nice to talk to her, but more in an FYI way, than a "how do you feel about this" way.
You never know what the future may bring and you may kick yourself if you pass up this property and then either she or your husband leave the company.
FWIW, I think it's common in smaller cities that people of a certain socioeconomic status group together and that often means people who work together. I grew on a road where more than 1/2 of the city's doctors lived - many of them neighbours and colleagues.
Good luck. I hope this one goes through!
Maybe it's not the right time, because something you can't expect is going to come along soon.
I know you are anxious to buy a lot, but don't settle because lot's 1, 2 and 3 fell through. Is there another area that may make you happy? ?
Spend some time re-evaluating the other options you had dismissed in favour of this area before pushing for your 'back-up to the back-up to the back-up' property. ?KWIM??
Good luck!?
this post is sad, but according to fb there may be some positive news?
I'm hoping for you! This has been one frustrating journey - you need some good news!
