I think I might explode.
Okay, not really. Things haven't been going as smoothly as one would hope regarding our new home purchase and sale.
Monday we found out that the homeowner of our new house's assertion that the flood insurance required was only a "couple hundred dollars" was a little off. You see, despite being bone dry, never having flooded since it was built ~70 years ago, and around 1000 feet from a stream (NOT a major river), this house we love is in flood zone AE -- the worst there is. So, we were told anywhere from $800something to over $1300, depending on the bank's requirements. Talk about panic! Turns out it is the low end of that, but not a pleasant surprise. We're going to look into having an elevation cert. done with the survey to see if it can be placed in a lower (and cheaper) zone. We'll see! What we won't do to have this house...
Then on Tuesday we get a call from our lawyer that the woman buying our house wants to close... THE NEXT DAY! And give us post possession until Saturday, April 19th to get the heck out of dodge. So we're now living in a house we no longer own! Weird. Anyway, it's a darn good thing we are off all next week, because we will be busy busy busy moving our stuff out to my mother-in-law's. Madness!
That's the update. Cross your fingers for smooth sailing from here on out.
