Current House Status Update - Week 11 and 12

Well its been 2 weeks since we posted an update regarding the status of our current house and we are now into August with no offer in sight.  We heard back from the couple that we were hoping would submit an offer (see post Cross Your Fingers...) and were shocked with their response.  They stated that they didn't like the layout of the kitchen and that there is not enough cabinet space.  This was a little shocking to us because we believe that our current kitchen has more cabinet space than the kitchen in our new house and we just added a huge pantry to the kitchen.  The cabinets were new to the house 13 years ago; and are in really good shape.  For a 108 year old Victorian house, this kitchen is about 3 times the size as a typical kitchen for this style of house. 

Pictures of our current kitchen.



Needless to say, there is not much we can do about it; so we continue to focus our energy on the things we do have some control over.  Last week we decided to drop the price and we were hoping to stir up some activity.  However, it was another very quiet week. 

Update on neighbors:
Not much has evolved with either neighbor.  Both neighbors have yards that are despicable and we see no help in sight from the borough.  It leaves us no choice, but to move this issue to the county health department and/or even the media.  We will keep you posted.

That is all for now, until next week...

Geez, I can't believe that no one has made a good offer on the house as of yet...It is really unfortunate that you guys have to go to extreme measures to get your neighbors to take care of what they own and pay for. It is just very sad. I wish you guys the best of luck, I really do. We still have yet to get our house rented either.

Wow, that's a beautiful kitchen, I can't believe they would think there wasn't enough cabinet space! So frustrating about your neighbors, fingers crossed for you!

So sorry to hear you have not had any luck with your neighbors...sooo frustrating. I am shocked that couple would think that about your fantastic kitchen...if they need more cabinet space, they need to dump some "stuff"!!!
