Ok.... That's unexpected.

We've been waiting and waiting for the buyer of our Meldrum house to schedule their inspection of the property. It's something that we were a *tiny* bit nervous about, because in a 100 year-old house... you never know. The gutters are a little weird, the porch is cracked, and the foundation has settled in a way that makes the front room a little (charmingly) off-kilter. I feared we were going to get a "laundry list" of things that needed to be fixed.

We just heard back from the buyer this afternoon, and... she's waiving the right to inspect.

Awesome, but... Huh?

It's such an odd choice. I know I would never buy a house without having an inspector look it over first. I guess it's just possible that she came here when the FHA appraiser walked through, and felt confident that everything was in working order. But still, it seems so bizarre that she would walk through the house *once,* make and offer, and waive the inspection?

Makes me wonder what kind of plans the buyer has for this place?

Still, don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth. No inspection = one less thing for us to worry about. That's awesome news.
