Condo purgatory...or is it limbo?

After some serious lawyering by our attorney (as required by the state of New York), we are on track to becoming homeowners. After some somewhat questionable requests in our contract, we finally got most of what we wanted, and were offered a fair deal. Then, I asked about closing dates. It looks like someone forgot to tell us that it was unlikely that we'll close by the time we move. There's still a chance, but I guess we never really know until the 30 day notice to close is issued. That means that we'll need month to month furnished housing for an indefinite period of time that's reasonably affordable. No problem! It's not like it's hard to find housing in New York. Ummm, yeah. The developer estimates a 5/31 closing date, so our hope is that they'll only be 2 months behind, and we'll be in at the beginning of july. We can do one week of temp housing somewhere, although we'd rather be in our new house prepping it for all of you who will be coming to visit! Keep your fingers crossed for us.
