5 Months and Still waiting....

Good Morning Everyone! The weekend is upon us again and I am definitely looking forward to it.  The 25th of May brought 5 months of waiting on the house. Our short sale is turning out to be very long. Last I updated everyone the seller indicated that we were getting close. Over the last 3 weeks or so we've had no updates.

It's frustrating to say the least from our end. If we had updates regularly I think it would be less so.  I can't help but wonder if the seller is doing her part to negotiate and deal with the bank.  Whenever we have correspondence or forms to sign with them they are less than speedy.  Our hands are tied though, it's either walk away (which I don't want to do) or wait (patiently or not).

If there were other properties to consider that could be an option but right now there is nothing that meets our criteria. We were picky about the property we wanted. Just to give you an idea of why we picked the property we did here is what our list looked like:

• South or south/west facing (we could have been convinced to have west facing with the right view)
• Close to the clubhouse
• 4 bedroom, 3 baths
• Pool/spa
• Close to theme parks
• conservation view or green space to the rear

Doesn't sound like it would be hard to find but it was.   So in the end the house we are waiting for meets most of the criteria.  We are south facing (in the backyard so the pool is in the sun all day), about 7 houses away from the clubhouse, no rear neighbours, privacy from neighbours on either side with privacy hedging, 6km from Disney, over sized pool and waterfall spa and the 4 bed 3 bath model we liked. So when this goes through it will be amazing!

So for now we wait! Have a great weekend. My next entry will be sooner than this one, I'm working on what there is to do other than the theme parks!
