A House...or Not.

We finally found a house! We have been looking for months and have not been very successful in finding anything that works for the six of us.

The house was just what we were looking for. Our lease would start the 1st of September. The landlord still had a contract with a Realtor to sell the house, but that would end on Aug 31. It had been for sale for over 2 1/2 years and had never had an offer. No one had looked at it for months, so the landlord decided to rent it instead.

He told us we could move in before the 1st. Since no one had looked at it for a few months, he figured no one would be interested during the last few days of the contract. So we moved in a few days earlier than September 1st, just to get a jump start. We moved in on a Friday night and knew we would love living there! The very next day, the house showed. And Sunday it sold.

We were stunned! So before we even got unpacked, we had to start looking again. Fortunately, the sale wasn't going to close until November, so at least we had a little time to look. Oh, my.
