Packing Up and Moving Out

Well, we have signed a contract to sell our house.

It is kind of a crazy story.

At the end of last year, we thought about selling our house and looking for something a little closer. I love where we live, until I have to drive. We are at least 20 minutes away from EVERYTHING!! It is nice and a pain at the same time.

We decided to put out a “For Sale By Owner” sign in the yard and waited.

We didn’t have any interest for a while, but did end up having a real estate agent call us to say that she had a girl that wanted to look at the house.

We cleaned. She came. She liked.

Unfortunately, her credit was not at a place for her to buy the house. We tried for a couple of months and then finally gave up. We figured it just wasn’t the right time to sell, so we took down the sign.

We haven’t given it a whole lot of thought since then…until…the same real estate agent contacted David again a few weeks ago saying that she was still interested in our house. The agent assured us that everything was approved this time, so we started to talk to them again about the prospect of selling.

This past Saturday, they came to the house to look at it again and then we signed a contract. We are now waiting to have the house inspected and cleared before we can move forward. We are looking at a potential closing date in the middle of July, which is perfect timing!! We are HOPING that everything moves through this time!!!

Where are we moving? Well, that is the tricky part! We don’t actually know!!

Since we hadn’t really planned on moving right now, we haven’t really been looking. Thankfully, we do have some friends that have some rental properties. I think we are going to plan on renting for the time being and start looking after that. I don’t want to rush into anything. I want to make sure that we make a wise choice.

This is another example of the crazy life that we live!! It sure keeps us on our toes!! J
