Updates and An Approval

We sold our house this week and have now moved into an apartment not far from where our new house will be built one day.  Lol!

So after being alarmed at not hearing from NVR Mortgage for weeks and weeks and then getting a strange message from our new Loan Processor, I did contact my Sales Representative and she got to work.  And this week we got our approval from NVR Mortgage.  Yeah!  But I also learned that our house will not break ground until the end of September or early October and we will close in December or early January.  So we will be moving again in 6 months, but this time in the dead of winter.  That was not so great news.

But this was a big week for us.  We are back in the burbs and one step closer to getting our new house.

No Home, No Loan But Selling My House Next Week

Well I have not written a post in awhile because my build seems to be more or less on hold.  My house sells next week and after that we will be in a two bedroom apartment near where our new house is supposed to be built.

But we have not gotten any word on our loan approval and no word on when construction for our house will start.  Back in May when we purchased the house we were told it would start in July so I rushed to put our house on the market so we would be ready.  But now that seems premature.

I have decided to wait until I have officially sold my house before I start having a real fit with NVR mortgage and our Sales Rep - but the time is near.  It just seems ridiculous for the price we are paying to have so little communication or regard for the upheaval of having to put the kids in new schools without knowing for sure that you are even going to be able to build the house you want - or that it will be ready sometime this year.  It seems I should have paid more attention to the endless criticisms of NVR mortgage and Ryan Homes on the internet.
