Yes, actually. They put in a bid for a condo that is about 15 min away. Haven't heard if it's been accepted.
I've been perusing the real estate ads in Austin. We're thinking of buying a condo or small house for David to live in while he's at UT doing his PhD work. He'll be there for another 5 years, and the cost of the mortgage on a place would be close to what he's paying in rent right now. If we can find a two or three bedroom, he could even rent one room out to a classmate, if he wants. That would help pay at least half the monthly cost!
Good luck to the in-laws. When might they expect to hear if the offer was accepted?
