Okay, so we found a tiny bit of mold in the green house, thus precipitating the need for a mold test. The mold test did not indicate elevated levels of mold, but it did find a tiny little bit of black mold. That's the toxic stuff, for those of you not familiar with mold. I'm still confused as to how you have black mold in your house, and yet the tests don't say elevated mold.

The sellers aren't required to remedy the mold problem, but we would be required to remedy it in the future before we could sell the house. Not that we'd want to live in a moldy house anyway. So if you have followed all that and aren't completely confused. . . We are going to ask the sellers to remove the mold and they have to have a specialist do this. Of course these things cost money, and it is unlikely that the sellers will want to spend any more money on this house. (We are still waiting for them to get back to us on the electrical repairs. They verbally agreed to do the repairs but have yet to file a written addendum. Kind of suspicious.)

In the meantime, I have found a few more houses to look at and of course there is one that I'm really interested in. I'm trying to keep myself from falling in love with it based on the pictures because they can be so deceptive. But keep your fingers crossed that the house is actually nice and non-moldy and that it can be ours.
