Or bid, rather.

We took some friends back to see the apartment we were considering, and liked the place even more. (For the record--not a basement. The floor is about a foot lower than street level, but the windows on both sides get plenty of light and cross ventilation.) Anyway, it's pretty awesome in a lot of ways, including the fact that we can afford it. Specifically, we've negotiated to a price we're pretty happy with.

There are still a lot of hurdles between here and there--we're going to get a very thorough inspection done, for starters. But I'm finding myself planning new couches and what I want to plant in window boxes and how I want to decorate for Christmas. And the super awesome barbeque I hope to throw as a house-warming in a couple months. In the backyard that we would own. Nerves are wracked. This is scary. But really exciting, too.

That's super exciting!

Having been through this before, I would encourage you to do your best to rein in your enthusiasm until you have cleared all the contingencies and have the keys in hand... but that said, squeeeee!

*sending lots of good thoughts your way*

Well, I figure that at this point, if it falls through, I will be happy it did. (That is, the inspection or the bank's assessment reveals something that makes us not want the place anymore.)

That is a great way of thinking about it! Wishing you (and the property) luck!
