We got a house!
Of all the houses we've been to see, our second-favourite choice is owned by a couple who vacillated so endlessly that we'd given up on them. We were therefore astonished when their agent called us this morning to say that they'd come to a decision, that they liked us, and that in fact they would accept a year's rent in cash up front as proof of our liquidity. The house is available right now so we will, in fact, be out of this house by the end of the month. akeela won't be left to handle the move alone while I'm working in Zurich. And our landlords, who sold their house a month too soon, won't be left homeless because of it.
But just before we accept that offer, we're going to make one last-ditch attempt at a house we saw on Tuesday and which we liked even more.
