Anyone out there buying a home in general, take dates given to you with a grain of salt because they rarely happen on schedule. Pad it by days, months, etc. Now to be fair the hurricane has delayed us a week or so, but a delay nonetheless. Ill post when we close in a few days Im sick of speculating. The Closing Coordinators (i bet she feels special with that title) office is in Port St Lucie which was hit pretty good by the hurricane, so we'll see how that affects us.
The mortgage company has everything they need. The house is complete. The CO was issued on Wednesday. Insurance company is waiting till Wilma is no longer a threat. Money is saved for closing. Just waiting on the closing company to call with a date to close. I am hoping for Monday or Tuesday. Depends on the hurricane.
My regular email is functioning again. I did some major begging to gmail support and it looks like it helped. Wish I knew what happened to help avoid it next time. I was bummin major on that one.......
We now have Tropical Storm Wilma threatening to spoil our move-in this week. Not only because we dont want to move during high winds, but because the insurance companies will not issue policies while there is an active named storm. Which there is right now, and models as of now are shifting OUR way. So its not like I could complain about it not affecting us, because it just might. So Im not really surprised, because Murphys Law always finds me in the most annoying of ways.
I was prepared for delays, but jeez. There is one last inspection that has to be done for FHA loans that hasnt been done yet. Its gonna push it back a couple days. So no moving in this weekend. Ive rescheduled the POD for the 19th to be delivered lets hope i dont have to change it again. Time is flying by staying at Dads though so thats good....
Im not too surprised, but I havent heard that the city has issued the co yet. I called the super today and left a message just in case he forgot to call me , ha ha ya right now im reaching.
We are hoping beyond hope that we will be in the house by weekend. Its a possiblity. But not in the bag. The walkthrough went fine, we had seen most everything anyways. Basically just signed off on it. They still have to do the remaining shutters, a chip in the bathtub, and not much else. Steve said CO maybe Tues 11th. Isa and I scrambled on Friday to get remaining paperwork for the mortgage company, now thats done. Kinda on autopilot now waiting for the mortgage company to call and tell us the closing date. I have the POD being delivered Fri, lets hope the CO is issued by then or I jumped the gun. Cable company is out on Monday the 17th too. Hope Im there from 8:30 to 11am!
Steve just called me to schedule the walk-through. I am meeting him at 8:00am tomorrow morning. Hope Isa can go, but I doubt it. Not totally necessary since we've already been through it. The Health dept inspection and another inspection (i forget) is tomorrow also. Those depts will then fax their acceptances to the city, and the city will then issue a CO. Steve said maybe as soon as Tues the 11th. And he then spoke of closing "within a couple days" of the CO issue. That would put us in the house maybe by next weekend or a couple days afterward. Coming to a close pretty fast......
