Monday Musings

[katesthoughts]

 

You are not going to believe this.  I don’t believe it myself.  The house went on the market on Saturday morning.  That same afternoon we had three showings.  We were supposed to have only 2 but one was added and so Liz and I were here from 12:15 until 2 pm.  Now I understand why home owners are not supposed to be in the house with potential buyers.  It’s stressful.  One f the potential buyers was Young Shea and her husband with their Realtor. 

After the last showing Dave arrived (I had invited him to come see the house) and Liz’s Friend Andrea came and we did the Smudging and the burial of St Joseph’s and we did the prayer.

Sunday was the first Open house and there were 17 reservations to see the house.  It started at 10.  Cheryl came at 9:30.  The titans were safely put in their crates and in the bedroom.  The Open house started at 10 and I left t meet Liz for shoe shopping.  Cheryl texted Liz and said it’s been crazy nonstop.  She did manage to check on the titans and they were fine. 

I did get to come back to meet up with my other niece and her husband so that we could get her stuff out of the back porch.  I also brought Cheryl iced coffee.   Diane and Rogier did take a quick walk around the house and they got to meet the titans.  The lull was over and we had to quickly get out.  SIL Ethel came in as well.  We had done the work already and now were making plans to have lunch.  While at lunch Cheryl sent a message saying that everything was done and locked up.

Late this afternoon Liz contacted me saying that several offers were made and that Bob accepted an offer.  Cheryl went into further detail later and said that the lawyer accepted an offer of $310,000.  It wasn’t Young Shea and her husband.  Their bid was the lowest. 

Now all that’s left to do is find a place and begin the process of buying and moving to said place.  Someone suggested today a mobile home.  This one I have seen before.  I was interested in seeing and I still might but by the time I got home I decided that I would prefer condos.

I hope my search will be as quick and easy as this part was.  I am not sure if there is a deadline or not.  I am still thinking it will be by the holidays or the end of the year.  I will find out from Liz and Cheryl.
