We have finally moved into our new house! Nine months since signing the contract, we started moving last Friday. What a pain in the ass! Although we have everything moved, a lot of it is in boxes in the Garage. This weekend will entail moving most of this to inside the house. The new house is twice the size of the old one, so there is plenty of "space" to store all this stuff.
Selling a house has got to be the most stressful things a person can go through (especially during a softer market). We put the house on the market in late January. Although we had many people come by to look, we didn't get an offer until April. That offer fell through when the prospective buyer realized there was no on-street parking. We got another a couple of weeks later. However, this was a real estate agent wanting to turn the house into a rental. She determined that the property would not bring in enough money to make it worthwhile. The third offer was the charm. Then the process of home / termite inspection, appraisal started. All the while we were crossing our fingers that the buyers didn't back out. Well, we signed on June 9th, and signed for our new house on the 13th. Our old house closed on the 14th and the new house closed on the 16th. Talk about a close call!
