Calling All Prayer Warriors!

We need your prayers and many good thoughts in our house hunt!

~

Our prayer request is that everything regarding the sale of our current and future home will work out quickly and easily. We are praying that we will either receive a new offer this weekend or the outstanding offer on our townhouse will be ratified at the beginning of next week (or sooner!).

Last weekend we received an offer on our townhouse. Everything was looking good and we had a verbal agreement but the buyers wanted to double check on the details of their relocation package (the government is moving them from Denver). If any of you have worked with the government you know that is not always a speedy process... So, unfortunately while we do still have a contract on our current home hanging out there it has not been ratified. We are hoping to hear something positive on that front by early next week.

While we would obviously love to have a firm offer on our current home the wait wouldn't be so hard if the house we would like to purchase hadn't received an offer today. Bummer! :P Luckily the agent of that home knew how interested we were and let our realtor know they were receiving another offer in case we would like to place an offer as well. After a lot of discussion and soul searching we decided to proceed. Our realtor let the other realtor know our situation and that a contingency offer would hopefully be short lived. So while the sellers did except our 21 day contingent offer tonight we would love it if we could go ahead and remove the contingency early next week after receiving ratification of the contract on our townhouse.
