Yesterday did not turn out to be a great day. It really does seem that we're not going to get the house. It's funny - I, personally, now feel sort of stupid for getting all excited and starting up this blog. "Hey, everybody, read about what we're doing! Oh, wait, false alarm. Forget you ever read any of this!" That's what we get for putting all our eggs in one basket. It really did seem like we were good to go, though.
We're down, but not out. Our real estate agent was pretty surprised that the appraiser couldn't help the financing go through. We're wondering if he was actually from the lender, and they have specifics for the program that he had to adhere to. So, we're going to try again. My other half is driving to another town as I write this to meet a new lender face to face. We'll see what she has to offer us- she initially said she had found a program similar to the one we were going to take from our first broker. Our agent is trying to find another appraiser for us, too.
This way, if even after all this work, we aren't able to finance the house and have to withdraw our offer, we'll know that we did everything in our power and it just wasn't meant to be.
