House fell through

So we should have been moving this weekend, but the sale fell through. We were buying the house from a flipper. In the buying process, we had a list of repairs for him to do. Some biggish things, some smaller things. Big things like....the hot water didn't work, the roof on the addition had some soft spots, etc. Small things like the breaker box had some empty spots and we wanted him to put blanks in there, etc. We didn't expect him to fix all of the small things, but thought we would submit everything because he's a contractor and these things would be easy for him to do. We sent the list to him and we didn't hear back from him. Our agent had tried to contact him and got some very vague answers from him here and there. We were approaching our due dilligence deadline and needed to do something or we were in the contract to buy the house as is or lose our earnest money. We sent him an addendum stating that we would give him a couple more days to respond, but if we did not hear from him we are out of the contract. Well, my agent contacted him and his agent and we never heard from him again. So....I am sort of glad. The fact that he was being so vague and weird about everything made me think there were bigger issues with the house that he found and isn't saying anything about. We did not get that house and that is okay.

Because...we found another house. A new construction house. We are so excited about it. We sign papers and such next week sometime, so nothing is official yet. Once papers are signed they said 3-5 months and our house will be finished. We get to pick out flooring and cabinets and such. Lots of fun. Anyway, that is the house update, I will post more about it when we are more official :)
