That might take longer than normal until closing and if things need to be fixed up then even longer. Would they want to wait?

Have you LOOKED at the prices in that area? They would want to wait if they could get a better price on a place that meets their needs/wants.

Looking at prices isn't exactly an inspiring experience. We can afford it, but it doesn't mean we want to. They don't call them savings because you want to spend them, I guess. As far as foreclosures go, this time I think we're going to try something a little more nice. We still want to able to pay it off in five years, but this round we will actually take out a mortgage.
That being said, we do not need a three car garage, a pool, and vaulted ceilings, nor do we want them.
Lately it feels like God is kicking us out of our house. We've flooded this winter for the first time in years. Normally this time of year we're dry. Everything is wet. We get water proofed the first week of January. Unfortunately the person heading off the waterproofing project demolded first and scheduled the waterproofing later in Jaunary, which means the mold has grown back with a vengeance and now the house is uninhabitable and we've all developed coughs and congestion worse than we've ever had before from the house. So now we're staying in a friend's basement until we leave this weekend for house hunting. After waterproofing we will demold again.
Things aren't too great right now, but I guess they could be worse.
I've already de-chickened and de-ducked to a friend (keeping my goats) so as soon as we have a home that isn't trying to kill us to go to we will do what's necessary and just move. Company pays for most moving expenses, from what I understand. I kind of want my life back together. It would be nice if we hurried up and found a house. February 4th is DH's startup date, and while he can work remote a little bit, he may run out of new thing he can do remotely. We have already found several that meet our criteria and are "affordable".
I will be more optimistic once I'm out of town, house hunting, and maybe not coughing. And maybe re-chickened and the goats safely in my barn and everything buttoned up for the rest of the winter.

I hope you find a good property quickly. Sometimes things just fall into place.
Sorry about the flooding, last thing you need when you are wanting to sell and move.

Yes, I've been feeling guilty about the lack of pictures so I found the camera in the house and moved it to the car. It's waiting to do something.
I was tempted to take a picture of my buckling today. He's doubled in size but I had my hands full keeping the 3 year old human animal out of the house while I was goating. Trip pictures would be fun to put up.
I'm really enjoying reading other people's journals and threads right now. It's nice to read about life in general going on. I'm glad there's life beyond mold.

And we are enjoying reading about your adventures as well.
Also, since you and your husband will be looking for houses in MA, you may want to read my post to @CntryBoy777's journal about a buyer's representation agreement with a real estate agent. It may help you avoid paying too much.

I didn't realize there was any inhabited property left in Detroit...
Of course there is/are GB... mostly by wild and feral animals...
