Proud Non-Homeowners

I've been waiting to tell you until it was official, but we are the proud homeowners of nothing!! :) Our spec house finally sold! It's been on the market for over 2 years, and now it's gone. In the middle of July, Jason and I were driving by the spec house and noticed that someone was parked up there. This is very normal, especially on a Sunday afternoon. We debated stopping to see if they needed anything, and I made the comment that we'd better stop because they would probably be the ones to buy the house. So, we went back and talked with them. It turns out that they had seen the house with a real estate agent the night before, but were leaving town and wanted to see it one more time before they left. They couldn't get in contact with their agent, though. When we came along, they were more than happy to get a personal tour from one of the builders. The woman said that she has been wanting this house since she saw it being built, and she was completely sold on it. We got the full-price offer 2 days later. It took a few more weeks to work out all the normal kinks, but we closed on Wednesday right before we left for Olympia 1 convention. We are very excited!
