We're Under Contract!!!

Well after much searching we found a house that we both loved. I had seen the house a week before and showed it to Jared on Father's Day. It meets all our musts and most of our wants as well. The staircase is our favorite feature of the whole house. Strange we know but it's awesome!! It's a bank repo but is surprisingly in pretty good shape. At least it appears to be, our inspection will be done within the week to confirm that. Mostly it needs some cosmetic changes. The biggest is that every room is wallpapered and it's gotta go!! The best is the Master bedroom and bath that has curtains that match the wallpaper exactly. This would be find if I liked peach, pink and country blue (I still hate pink). Also the yard is pretty dead and might have to be redone. I want that fake grass that looks and feels real but Jared response is "we are not white trash"
Since it was a repo we were planning on putting a super lowball offer in and see what the bank reply was. However we found out there was another offer on the house already so we placed a higher but still much lower that the asking price bid and hoped for the best. We put an offer in Tues 6/17 and were suppose to hear back within 72 hours which should have been Friday 6/20 and thought it would fun to find out while we were in Utah surrounded tons of family to celebrate with. Apparently the listing agent for the bank didn't feel he had to honor the offer contract that stated a decision would be made within 72 hours and didn't get back to us until 6:30 PM Tuesday 6/24. We were really worried that our offer was not high enough and the bank decided to keep the house on the market though the weekend in hopes of getting a better offer. We signed the counter offer tonight that didn't really change much from our original offer except it stated that after closing if we found anything wrong we could not sue the bank.
We are scheduled to close on July 24th. So anytime after is you are needing a place to sleep you are welcome to use one of our many rooms.

Here are some pictures I took from the listing.
