Let's Make a Deal

Someone made an offer on the house a day and a half after we listed it. They had a contingency on the sale of their house. We countered but said we wanted to wait to hear from them until Monday so we could see what else came in over the weekend and they turned right around and accepted our counteroffer and even removed the contingency on the sale of their house.

So we are sitting pretty and are accepting an offer on the house just three days after listing it. That is great for us, because the most important thing to us was to sell it quickly so we can move on with our lives.

Thanks for everyone's support during this long, difficult project.

I Know, It's Been a Long Time

But here's the thing. We've been busting our butts on this house for the last 16 months, and we really haven't had a lot of time. Plus at some point it just got too disheartening to talk about. But now we are finally wrapping it up and we are pretty happy with the finished product.




Hopefully it will sell quickly and we will get our savings back plus a little teeny tiny profit. And I mean that. Teeny tiny. Not big. In any case it will just feel good to have it done and move on to something new.

People seem to like the open floorplan and Andy really did a quality job on everything and it shows. In any case it's gratifying to take something that looked like my last posting and make it look like this posting. Next time I think we will take on a smaller project. We didn't quite realize what we were getting into. But all's well that ends well.

Actually now I am re-reading my earlier post about being $30,000 over budget and not being worried about it and laughing in a sick kind of way. Plenty of wiggle room, my ass. We ended up being $100,000 over budget and I was very worried at times. Live and learn, I guess.
