So we won’t be closing this week after all. The first appraisal came in at the purchase price so we thought all was good, but the loan underwriter was not impressed and the appraiser caved and dropped his appraised value down. Our buyers agent is now involved and wrote up a great justification of the appraisal being at the purchase price based on houses that have sold recently in the area. We forwarded that on to the loan officer and she will send it to the appraiser and underwriter. Hopefully everyone will get on board and we can get into our new house.
Most of the punch list has been taken care of at this point. I think the rain probably stopped the solar heating system for the pool going in today, but I don’t know for sure. Maybe tomorrow. We are also waiting on a compressor for the fridge which was delivered to us by Capritta Appliances broken. They totally refused to take it back so we are basically paying top dollar for a refurbished refrigerator. Not recommended, find another dealer. The trip to Orlando would be worth it after all.
We also are waiting on our pocket doors to get installed correctly. Most of them don’t latch properly and since they are on the bathrooms and bedrooms, we don’t find that acceptable. Maybe we will get in by the end of the month. I really hope so, living amongst all these packed boxes is going to get old real fast.
