For Sale

As I mentioned, we have two houses: Matt's condo and my house. The condo has been on the market since August. We had one interested buyer, well, looker might be a better term...She looked at the property 3 times, but never made an offer. So as the condo sat vacant and we paid 2 mortgages, 2 water bills, 2 heat bills etc. the burning question was when do we list our house?

You see, the problem is we don't want to move twice. The house will probably sell faster than the condo and what if it sells before our new house is done? The obvious answer is to live in the condo, but that means moving all the necessities to the condo and the majority of everything else to a storage unit. After much thought and a lot of back and forth, we decided we need to bite to bullet, list the house and if moving twice is what we have to do, then we just do it and look at it as a blessing of one less set of bills. We set the deadline to have all the little things done in the house by the end of February and have the house listed the first of March.

Mixed emotions seeing the for sale sign in our yard.

 

I am proud to say that Monday, we had our real estate agent +Bernice Helman come take pictures and I filled out all the paper work.  The sign was in the yard and the house in the MLS system on Tuesday. If you are curious and want to see the listing, click here.

It hasn't even been a week and I am already going nuts making sure everything is spotless in the house before we leave for work. No more lazy mornings of not making the bed and leaving make up out on the bathroom counter or dishes in the sink from the night before (we don't have a dishwasher, at least one that is an appliance, mine talks and his name is Matt). Selling a house you are living in is hard work! Hopefully I will be able to write an entry titled "SOLD" soon....but with this crazy weather, I don't think many people are thinking about purchasing a home anytime soon.
