So today brings the end of another work week for a lot of us. Thank goodness for weekends. Our vacation home journey continues to move along. We received another update this week. The extension of the short sale will go through, giving us another 30 days to wait on the bank. I guess in reality it is more like 60, if you count the 30 days after the extension. At this point the process seems straight forward enough, but that's only because I've asked enough questions and gotten great answers from our Realtor (Shaun Reed PA, Keller Williams).
So what's the update you're wondering? Well this is how I understand it. The seller has basically said that she expects the offer to go through, if we're willing to wait. There is some negotiating that the seller and the bank will have to do in order to settle what is still owed on the home. And of course we are willing to wait. Windsor Palms Resort is a great community. The house is the model we wanted and why would we walk away from a south facing pool with no neighbours to the rear!
What I think now is that while the whole short sale process is lengthy in time commitment, it will pay when the outcome is what we wanted. I'm still holding out for a closing that gets me to Star Wars weekends but I would put any money on it. So my plans may need to change a little. What should we do with the kids that they haven't done on other trips. So many options....
Perhaps we'll spend a day at a Disney water park, Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach. Or we could do the Pirates and pals cruise to see the fireworks. Oh what to do! We could even skip Disney this trip (ah on second thought, I don't think I could do that) and check out some other non-theme park activities. Maybe the beach, zip lining, check out the everglades...the options seem endless. I'll get to work on it and update my planning as I find different options.
Have a great weekend everyone!
