We got it! The third time was a charm. I reported previously that we did not get this house. Someone else got the contract. On our train ride back from New York City (more than 2 weeks ago), we found out that contract had fallen through. We resubmitted another offer. We waited and waited and suffered greatly, only to find out this Saturday that we again did not get the house. Then yesterday we got another call saying those people also walked away. (What is wrong with this house?) Anyway, we just found out our offer was finally accepted. The house is in Punta Gorda, FL, just north of Fort Myers. This area was devastated by Hurricane Charley about 5 years ago, but it has been rebuilt better than before. We are unbelievably excited about getting this house. Look at that view!
