We sold our house!
We actually got the offer 2 days after we moved out here so it’s been driving me crazy not to share but I didn’t want to say anything until it was final. Because you know how things can turn around on you and that would have been anticlimactic!
Anyway, we been going through the motions of negotiating back and forth, waiting for the inspection then the inspection report and then the buyers letter asking for every little possible thing to be “fixed”… which is actually just a reason to negotiate for more $$ back- or off the price of the house. You know the drill!
So we’ll be heading back in a couple weeks so the movers can pack up all our belongings (the ones we don’t have here anyway) and store it…because we can not find a house to purchase here!
I’m not kidding.
We’ve been looking for houses here for 2 months esentially (looking at listings and actuall houses for 3 weeks) and my “listing report” is just the same 15 houses every week.
It’s sad.
We are thinking of expanding our search to other areas of Knoxville even though that would defeat the purpose of moving out here for the last 5 weeks of school here. Maddie wanted to meet some friends to hang out with during the summer and start the next year with. Also, we chose this area because we wanted her in this school system.
Oh well. What-a-ya-do?
We really want to find our next house soon. Really soon!
Apartment life is something. You forget after 12 years of home ownership.
Yay on selling the house!!! I’m sure that was a HuGe burden lifted. Just take a break for a while, come out here and we can go makeup shopping and do makeovers…after the pillow fight of course =D.
Ha! Jen, that sounds –interesting.
Congratulations on selling your home! You will eventually find a home that suits your needs!
So exciting! I live in Greeneville Tennessee (about an hour from Knoxville.) You can totally come stay with me! I’d be really happy for you to try out some of your nifty designs out on my house while you’re staying here… with us… just saying
How sweet of you to offer Ashley! If I get really bored…
Congrats on selling! What a relief for you. Good luck on finding a home
Congratulations and good luck on your house! My husband and I looked at houses for a whole year before finally finding one that worked for us (and we looked at a LOT of houses). But I’m glad we didn’t settle, even though we were picky. You may not have that luxury (it’s hard to go back to apartment living!) but I hope you find your perfect place soon.
