So the lady who had asked about possibly leasing the house for six months talked with her father. They bought a copy of the home inspection from my agent and looked at the house this morning. Didn’t find anything wrong. I have another offer on the house! Whee! No financing to worry about since it is a cash offer. We close next Friday. As previously intended, I’m actually moving my stuff out of...

Odd offer on the house
The house has had four showings in the past week. That’s great traffic — more than it had last month. My agent called me a few minutes ago. She said a lady contacted about doing a lease with option to buy at the end of six months. My agent thought the deal sounded fishy because The woman initially said that she is going through a divorce and would like to buy the house...
Continue reading...Showing, again
The house is supposed to be shown today. Maybe, just maybe this will be result in another offer… Four showings in one week is pretty good, considering the market right now. Maybe I should be more optimistic. I’m trying. I really am. I’m just getting frustrated and feeling like things will never work out. Be patient. Have faith. Everyone keeps telling me that. I am trying, really. Related Images:

My real estate agent just called me. The lady who was going to buy the house could not get her financing in order. She had been pre-approved. Apparently something new turned up on her credit report from the time the offer was made until now. She is going to try and get things situated but who knows what will happen… My agent was very upset. She said the buyer came in yesterday (my...
Continue reading...Another showing
Yesterday after I posted here, i received another email detailing a second showing for the house. All good news, especially if something happens to the current contract. I don’t remember having this many showings mid-week for quite a while. Maybe it means the market is picking up over all? Or maybe it’s just a fluke? Related Images:

The house has two more showings this week. I’m glad that it is still having showings even though there is a contract pending. It gives me hope that if something happened and this sale fell through maybe someone else would pick up the house. In the good news category, the home inspection turned up nothing major. Yay! I was pretty sure I had corrected the issues raised by the inspection from before I...

The house has another showing today. I’m glad that it’s still getting shown, even though there is an offer on it. I haven’t heard anything new. I hope that means things are going along as they should. (And I hope so, because I’m making plans…) Related Images:
Continue reading...Two showings today
I still have the one offer on the house. The house is still being shown, which is good. It’s been two weeks since the last showing… and today I get a notice for two showings this afternoon at 4:00 and at 5:30. Funny how that works. Related Images:

A little bit of good news some times goes a very long way. The Rheem AC unit was indeed covered by a parts warranty, but not labor. The unit is now repaired: the variable speed fan motor was bad. It’s the most expensive part of the interior unit. If my understanding is correct, this repair basically meant replacing most of the upstairs interior unit of the heat pump. (Without the parts warranty, the...

When I went out to the house over the Fourth of July weekend, I was met with a rather nasty set of surprises: Both of my back doors had been left unlocked, The air conditioning unit was not working, and The pond looked like nuclear pea soup (neither pond pump was working). The pond was expected. Technically, I came into town to partially empty the pond water and fix the pumps. By the...
Continue reading...Offer on the house!
PARTY!! I have an offer on the house!! (Running around with a crazy grin on my face.) The offer is close to what I’m asking, so that is close enough. So, basically I make enough to almost cover the $15k loan I took out for the sewer and roof repairs last summer. Whee!!! Closing date will be at the end of August. WHEEE!!! =) Related Images:

The house has another showing today from 5:45 – 6:00. Short time slot. I wonder if it is a second showing? Related Images:

The house has a showing scheduled for today and another for tomorrow. Maybe, maybe someone will like it… I get nervous about not being in town. Last time I checked on the house, the hall way had leaves and dirt that had been tracked in by viewers. People who had viewed the house at the time said that it didn’t show well (scores of 2-3 out of 5). After I was in Tennessee...
