Over a month ago, Jim and I put in an offer on our 'dream' house - the house with the bad septic (this was the house we've already been under contract on before). We got word from the listing agent that the bank was ready to accept an offer and if we were still interested, here was our chance. So we did. And we waited. And waited. And waited. Got in touch with the listing agent after two weeks, was told that the bank was waiting on one more estimate for the bad septic. So we waited some more. Was told (after yet another inquiry) that the bank got the third estimate, the other offers dropped out, and they were going to make a decision soon. That was over a week ago. We inquired on things again this past Monday. Was told again that our offer was solid and they were going to make a decision, soon.
This morning I noticed that the listing was removed from the available houses. Another inquiry returned news we did not want to hear. The bank has decided to pull the property off the market, repair the septic, then re-list. Could take up to 6 months. And they will likely re-list higher.
Bummed doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now. These last three months, trying to buy THIS house, have been so devastating for my heart. I know things happen for reasons, but this just sucks.
