| New new house - 2002/11/04 | Viewed 156 times this month, last update: 2002/12/02
 |
| After canceling escrow on the old [Possible New House//house], my agent told me that a house on the same street, in Portola Hills opened up today, for $309k. It's a three bedroom, with over 1200 square feet, and a big nice yard. And, unlike the [Possible New House//old place] the owners of this one loved it, took good care of it, so it's not falling apart in the slightest.
|
The yard wraps around the back of the house, and extends all along the side, to the far end of the driveway. Lots of room for animals, and people.

Update 2002/11/05:
The accepted my offer! I'm back in escrow.
Update 2002/11/13:
Did the inspection yesterday, and it came out very well. There are two real issues, but the seller is going to fix them, no questions asked!
Update 2002/11/22:
Well, everything is clear. Escrow looks to close on the 27th, thursday. We should be moving next weekend!
Update 2002/11/27:
Escrow closed without a hitch, and just under the thanksgiving wire! I'm a homeowner!!! We move in saturday!
Update 2002/12/02:
We're all moved in, and it's great! I love the neighborhood, the house, the yard, everything. The only outstanding problem is that COX (being the cocks they are) won't move my cablemodem for 10 business days! Ugh!
Anyway, I'm starting a new node for My House, to cronicle 'the life of Erik the homeowner'. See it at a theatre near you! |
Comments:
Matt Bell (2002-11-04): Not as good of a view, but it looks like it is much more private. $30K in foundation work for the other place sounds like a great reason to cancel! Sorry it didn't work out, but isn't it great that there are people that can tell you that BEFORE you buy!
Steve Kehlet (2002-11-04): Too bad about the other place. I hope this one works out.
