We had a couple come through today who stayed quite a while the first visit and then came back for a second look. They told our realtor to expect an offer by Tuesday...sounds great, right? Well, they are concerned about the steep insurance rates (ours and almost everyone we know here in Florida had the same gouging by their homeowner insurance co.) so they want to get some bids before they make us an offer.
It is always something, ya know? Just once, it would be nice to have someone come in, say, "we love the house" and make us a reasonable bid. The last one we got was so low as to be insulting. These people don't even want to close for 6-8 months which would be ideal for us. We could find a place we like up close to the kids and not have to rent while we look.
We have no clue how much they will offer but I am hoping it is a sincere offer and not a low ball like the last one.
Meanwhile, we have even more people coming tomorrow to look at our house. E is taking me out to breakfast so we don't mess up the kitchen...lol. Will keep you posted and good thoughts for us would be greatly appreciated!

Jules, keeping you in my prayers that all goes well with the house. I don't envy you one bit. We went thru this a couple of years ago and it is the pits...
Have a good day today and GOOD LUCK...
Sending good thoughts your way. We sold our home in Three Oaks three years ago and now the home has doubled in market value. I am in PA now but we are thinking of moving to the Tampa area this year.
Hope you get a good offer soon.
