For Sale

Now to end on a happier note! I met with the realtors and showed them the house.

The realtor I am using and her manager were actually the ones who saw the house. The realtor I am signing with is the same one who listed this home four years ago and represented both the seller and us way back then. We really liked her and we decided to let her sell it again.

We gave the grand tour and she was amazed at how mush we have done to the home. It really was in quite a mess when we bought it and years of sweat equity and endless trips to Home Depot have really paid off.

The good news is that they valued the house much more than I thought. I went into the meeting thinking it would price along the same pricing as two other homes currently for sale on our street, but the realtors stated those homes were half the size and ours was one of the larger in the area. Sweet!

I am still a little nervous about the asking price and feel it is a bit high. However, out lovely realtor stated that if there are no showings within the first three weeks we will lower the price and go from there. Sounds reasonable.

We have been in the home for four years now and the asking price is $150,000 more than we bought the home for and that makes me very nervous.

Funny thing is, the housing market here is moving at a brisk pace and the realtors feel the house will move very fast. Yes, talk is cheap show me an offer.

So, the little sign will go up the first week in August and there is still much to do in order to ready the home but I will try to remain optimistic.
