Davenport Property in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho

We just heard from our realtor in CDA, ID. He notified us that the buyer who made the first offer on this home Jerry and I made a second offer on, in September, has backed out of the escrow. You may recall the 1st offer had a contingency on it to sell their house. We came in with a 2nd cash offer but, the 1st buyer had 72 hours to take the contingency away... which they did. After that the seller discovered that his realtor had written something in the escrow instructions keeping escrow going until March, 08. Even though the sellers weren't happy to find that out, it was okay because they weren't planning to start building their new home until after winter anyway. I have been keeping in close contact with our CDA realtor to stay on top of the situation, I didn't think I wouldn't know anything until March. At this time, I don't know what the sellers are planning. But, we became friends with the sellers and they have our home phone number so I am sure they will probably be contacting us when they decide what their plans are. Until then... I'll just just continue praying that everything will work out for the best.

UPDATE ON IDAHO PROPERTY

Wanted to update on the Davenport property in Idaho that we were hoping to purchase. After we extended on offer on the property the owner (Mike) left on vacation to Alaska for a month. The 1st prospective buyer of the property had a contingency on the house and had 72 hours to lift the contingency or back out of the offer. Well they lifted the contingency and went into escrow. Even though our offer fell through, we haven't completely lost the house, at this time. Our realtor explained to us that the original buyer (Jill) has until March to purchase the house. If she can's come up with the purchase price (because he house hasn't sold... or any other reason) the house falls out of escrow. If that happens Mike (owner) will let us know and we can go back to the negotiating table.

Tomorrow, Jerry and I have an appointment with our realtor, Bill Graves of Coldwell Banker, here in Coeur D'Alene, Id. We will be making an offer on this property. Jerry and I were here over the 4th of July and fell in love with this property. Unfortunately, the offer will be a back-up offer. Someone else already has an offer on the house but with a contingency to sell their house. We will not be putting a contingency on our offer. So they have 72 hours (from our offer) in which they need to either re-submit their offer without a contingency or back out of the deal.

07/07/07 Wedding and Vacation in Coeur D'Alene

Arrived in CDA, ID on 07/03. Our brand new Seadoo jetski anxiously waiting for us to hop on and take off. However, the place was buzzing with wedding plans. Jerry took the opportunity to put a coat or two of wax on his new jetski. Later on that night Jerry had severe pain under his arm and around into the back and shoulder area. Jerry could not get comfortable that night at bedtime to lay in bed so we propped him up in the recliner chair downstairs and by the next early morning Jerry could hardly move. He tried to get himself out of the recliner and landed on the floor unable to move and get up. Jerry's sister Joni came upstairs and woke me up by saying "Jerry's worse, I think we need to take him to the emergency". The ER doctor took x-rays and did not see anything on the x-ray. Evaluated Jerry and determined that Jerry required musle relaxer and pain medication. The doctor also placed Jerry's arm in a sling and secured it with a wrap around his body to stabilize the arm and shoulder. Unfortunately, after several days... Jerry was still in quite a bit of pain. Jerry's sister took him to a local chiropractor, Jerry had a massage and still with only minimal relief. With all the additional medications Jerry was taking he was sleeping a lot and while he was awake, was just not his happy, funny self.
