We spent Shabbos in Towna (name changed to protect privacy). This allowed us to (a) double-check that we still like the place and, primarily, (b) meet with our future landlords on Saturday night. The husband got called up to the reserves, so he's only around on Shabbat until future notice. Understandably, they would both like to meet us before signing anything. Also, he's the half who generally handles this sort of thing, so it's kind of useful to have him around.
So we met both of our future landlords on Saturday night! It's a shame they're moving: it seems like we'd be friends. On the flip side, it's nice to be renting from people we actually like. We didn't end up signing a contract since (a) they printed out the wrong sort of rental agreement and (b) we want to show the rental agreement to someone with more experience than we have before signing, anyway. We did write our names and ID numbers on a piece of paper that says we will rent from them, and they will rent to us, and they own the house, and we will not be allowed to live there forever and ever if we only pay them once (still not sure about that last clause: it's clearly saying that there is some weird legal category that this house does not fall into, but that is one heck of a weird legal category).
From there, we headed to some US-friends who now live in Beit Shemesh. Good to see them :-)
