Picture sent to me of second avo haul brought down by another round of storms. Apparently, another 8-10 avocados broke open upon impact with the ground. May this intact bundle come our way as well!
In other news: A house we submitted an offer on and subsequently lost out on has completed the sales process. We looked up the transaction info. online and saw that the seller (who was also the listing agent) took an offer 50k less than ours. WTF? Our agent rang him and he said, in short, that the winning bid was a cash offer. Then he told our agent that he was 'in court' and that he needed to hang up the phone. Mmmmkay.
February has proven a particularly dry month in terms of homes coming onto the market. We're slated to see two this weekend. One is out by Ocean Beach and one is along a train line. Both look lovely. Both will probably be out of reach, but one never really knows, I guess.
Good luck - on both the home and the avo front.
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
DeleteCould have let you know about the other offer....
ReplyDeleteRight?! There have yet to be any counter-offer scenarios presented when we've submitted bids, weirdly. Maybe the seller/listing agent in this situation needed fast cash? 50k is nothing to sneeze at, so we thought it odd that we'd lost out.
DeleteSending you good vibes on the houses you get to look at this weekend. Maybe an offer of green gold will help your cause?
ReplyDeleteHa. Yes, a sack of avos with the bid might tip things in our favor. :)
DeleteYou'll get your house. My sister used to have a joke which only made sense in early 1960s England when few people had ever heard of avocados:
ReplyDelete"Avocado".
"Thanks. I don't mind if I do".
Haha. I like that one. Your sister was clearly a cut-up.
DeleteMy cat refuses to think about that. Or avocados, either.
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteSounds shady to me.
ReplyDeleteThe guy couldn't wait 30 days for an extra 50k. Pretty weird!
ReplyDelete50K — nothing to sneeze at. Must be an intriguing story there. Hope something comes through for you soon —patiencd.
ReplyDeleteMust be! Patience, indeed. x
