There were some questions about these on some other posts, so I figured I’d share what I know, which isn’t much.
They’re making some nice progress. I see them every day on my way to work. Georgia Westcott is listing them and she’s got a website up with more info.

Well, it looks like our closing date is set for January 25th. There are still a few things that could get us bogged down, but at this point I’m reasonably confident that we’ll be homeowners (well, us and the bank of course) some time in the afternoon of that day.

As of Tuesday last week, we are officially in contract. Yay! The documentation showed up at my lawyer’s office [...]
