Major update on the house (odd offer part 2)

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...

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:

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:

More showings

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...

Post viewings… no word.

As of tonight, the house has had quite a few viewings after being relisted. Maybe 8 now? Not sure of the exact total. I should be hearing some feedback pretty soon. I feel nervous about hearing back. I was so excited when I thought that maybe one couple were looking at the house a second time. It means they might have a more serious interest than other people who have viewed the house....

Equine Withdrawl

I have pictures of Isis all over my cube. Her face is the background on my cell phone. I carry several hundred megabytes worth of pictures of her every where I go on my MP3 player. It is almost impossible to express how much I miss her. It’s like having your sanity in another state… Missing her is part of why the house not selling has been hitting me so hard. All I...

Yet more activity!

The house is seeing a lot of activity. Two showings scheduled for today and two more for early next week. One of the people who looked at the house this past week said they might do a second showing today… Maybe they did. Here’s hoping that I get an offer soon! Related Images:

Three showings in two days

This is a good week for the house: three showings in two days. There is a new showing scheduled for this evening. A lady I work with pointed out that I should try to have a better attitude. I’ve been rather pessimistic. Would you be if you’d had 25+ viewings and no offers? She said that the house is getting good visibility and I just need to focus on attracting the right people...
