Our appraisal came in today and it is higher than what we paid for the house! That means the loan can go through. One more box checked off! We actually called the lender yesterday and asked if we could move the closing date up and they are working on it! We are hoping to get out of this hotel by next week and in to our house. I'm so excited, but don't want to get my hopes up. Even if we can't close next week, the 16th isn't too far away.
The appraisal report was interesting to read with the other comparables in the area. It also included more exact square footage numbers than the MLS. Glenn and I both laughed when we saw that the master bedroom is ~750 square feet. Our entire APARTMENT in Japan was only ~800 square feet. I think we might need to buy a little more furniture!
The report also included a floor plan which a few people were asking about.
Glenn checks in to work on Thursday. He got off the ship in September! I don't know if he remembers what it's like to go to work. I know I don't. Until then we are just relaxing and running a few errands. It's frustrating to just wait and wait knowing that we have loads of things to do once we get in the house. Like unpacking. I can't wait to get the rest of my clothes and things back. Our express packout arrived a few weeks ago and our big HHG/furniture shipment arrived on November 22nd. That is almost 3 weeks ahead of schedule, but since we don't have a house, it is sitting in storage somewhere in Virginia. Hopefully it is in the same place as our storage shipment. We have a couple crates full of things that I haven't seen in 3+ years. Now that will be a Christmas surprise as well!
