A lot has been happening on our property search. After our October 30 parish meeting, we made an offer to the owner of the property we're hoping to buy, considerably under the listing price. After a long time, we got a counteroffer which kept the price at the same level and added more conditions.
So we're trying to negotiate another offer, hoping that we can come to an agreement that will satisfy everyone. We've obtained two comparative market analyses to get a better picture of the value of the property. At our BC meeting last night, we agreed to get an appraisal so we have an even better idea.
I've been in conversation with Bill Goodenough, the property manager for the diocese. The Board of Directors, understandably, wants to know we've done our homework, so I've been providing them with information about projected costs and the viability of getting a conditional use permit from the county.
It's all a lot of work, and it takes considerable time and focus. When I get anxious about the process, I try to remember that if this is God's will, then the doors will open and it will work out. If it doesn't, then something else will. So I try to leave the outcome in God's hands.
