Jim and I met with the realtor and builder’s rep yesterday. We signed a contract on the new house (which is of course contingent on us selling ours first) and put down the “good faith” earnest payment. So now we’ve got to go double-time on getting our current house ready to sell. We’ve basically got a week and a half to get most of our stuff moved out, all necessary fixtures replaced, the house painted, the carpeting replaced, and anything else that we think will help it sell faster.
I don’t have pix of the new house up. I took some yesterday using Jim’s cell, but they didn’t really come out (serves me right for not checking his cam settings first!). We’ll be going by there later this week, so I’ll take the “good camera” and get some proper shots taken and posted.
OMG, we’ve got so much to do! :jittery_tb:
Unfortunately my stress levels have been slightly elevated lately. I’ve had to double-up on my migraine pain meds, as I’ve had a headache pretty much every day lately. I’ve been a little snippy when I haven’t meant to have been.
God bless my family for putting up with me. :wub_tb:
I’m dreading the actual move itself, but will be SO happy when all of this is over and done with!

Thanks, Mara. :)

Yup…the moving part sucks! But getting there will be worth it! :thumbup_tb: I think all 4 of us are going to be tired of moving stuff around by the end of the month.
Nicki
Tell me about it! :P

I have to say one of the best decisions I ever made was to let the moving company pack everything for me. I did absolutely nothing except clean up after everything was gone. It’s definitely worth the money. I’m pretty sure they’ll store everything too until you’re ready to move in.

I would LOVE to pay someone else to pack, but we are trying to keep our moving costs as low as possible. :)

Good luck selling your house! My neighbor across the street just sold his within a few weeks of listing with a realtor so it is possible. He had tried to sell by owner for over a year with no luck. As a realtor once told me, everything will sell at the right price.

Thanks, Scott. The houses in our area have been selling fairly quickly, so we’re hopeful! :)

You are lucky to live in an area where buyers are easy to come across. Good luck with the move.
