Update for 323 Bur Oak
The outlook is bleak for now - someone has a (much) higher bid in, but there's no way to know how much higher. There is one slim chance left for us though: Apparently the bidders are demanding that the basement gets surveyed (for what reason, I have no idea), and the sellers have no way of doing so (again, for what reason I have no idea). If the bidders don't budge on that, they may drop the entire offer, leaving us with the house!
Not sure how great of a chance that is, but everything else has been weird as of late, so why not this? Regardless, I don't think there's much of a chance for this house falling into our laps. We will be continuing the house hunt later this week, I am sure. I'll post updates when there's something to post!
Cheers.
