We’re more than halfway through the whole home buying process! We’re going to approve the house inspection despite some problems with the roof since they probably won’t affect us for the next 5 years. The sellers can’t negotiate on price since they’ve maxed out their equity and have already purchased another home, so we asked for a grill, lawn mower and a nice rug to compensate for some of the minor flaws the house inspection turned up. 
Kim loves to negotiate and I’m accustomed to it from traveling, but there wasn’t much opportunity to do so here since there were other offers competing for the house. We still think the house is a great deal though. The kitchen is easily the nicest in our price range.
We’re starting to look for roommates to live in the two upstairs rooms, so let me know if you’re interested or know someone who might be. We’re probably going to be asking $450 to $500 per month plus utilities. Closing will probably happen mid to late October so that’s when we’ll move in. We’ll find that out on Monday when all our loan details start to become clear. Can’t wait to move in!
Well, Matt, I don’t read that friends are lining up to rent a room in your house, so let me say that if I needed to live in Seattle, I would rent from you. The photos are nice, and you will be pleased to have such a spacious kitchen.
At our house, we now have a bigger driveway slab, with room for shooting three-pointers from the side of the basket. Do you think you can still hit the 3-pointer?
