Got it

We got the house. The seller folded.

Interestingly, as always, "winning" in a negotiation makes me feel that I should have asked for more. Maybe I should have asked for TWO new roofs. Why not?

Better yet would be seismic reinforcement. I am a real Californian, and I don't think it does any discredit to my state to admit that WE LIVE IN AN EARTHQUAKE ZONE, PEOPLE. Many folks in the real estate business seem to have no concern that a major earthquake could wipe out the investmeents of many, many people.

Buena and I will insist on seismic reinforcements before moving in to the house--but we'll pay for those reinforcements ourselves. Closing in 21 days!
