Stalking

No, not in the insidious way.

I think it is fairly normal for people to stalk the house they are trying to get (please tell me it is...).  I have driven by twice since it is on the way home from the market.  And I keep looking at it online.

This morning, however, when I began my stalker routine, the (my!) house is gone.  Gone from Redfin. Missing from Zillow.  401'd on BayAreaHomes.  I did find it on a couple other sites though after my mini heart attack.  The status changed from 'Active' to 'Pending With Release'.  As a first time home-buyer, I have no idea what this means.  I'm waiting for Pete's reply email with the answer.  From what I can gather though, it's a good thing and just means they aren't going to accept other offers on it.  Can I get a woot woot!!

Today marks one week since we submitted to the seller.  They accepted on Monday of this week, and I hope they have forwarded our offer to the bank by now (this is a short sale home, like almost all the homes that are currently on the market in our area).

Sitting on pins and needles for a full week sucketh.
