Seriously..

Selling a home can be a stressful process. Selling a 100 year old home can drive one to drink.

News of the day. The plumber came out to fix some sort of leak in the basement and cha-ching two grand down the drain. Okay, not a big deal, deep cleansing breaths and we will move on. Still a few big ticket repairs right around the corner and we can check off the box marked plumbing.

The electrician makes a cameo tomorrow and we are getting early mixed messages on what the costs will be. Again, deep cleansing breath and take it all one step at a time.

The phone rings and a little unexpected news is discovered. Apparantly the buyers appraiser did a shitty job and out home appraised well below expectations and far below recent sales. WTF!!

Per the realtor the appraiser dropped the ball and made several very obvious mistakes. He omitted a floor of the home and called it an attic? Huh? He counted the bathrooms incorrectly and used old outdated comparables. Just about everything he could do wrong, he did!

So, per the realtor this is not the end of the world. It just causes more work for everyone to have the appraisal reconsidered or redone. Hopefully tomorrow will shed some light on this issue.

I swear everything that could possibly go wrong has! I am just waiting for the next shoe to drop. The bottom line is that the appraisal was unacceptable and no way in hell would I allow the home to be sold for that low of an amount.

Oh well another day! Why do these things have to be so dramatic and stressful? I promise I am never buying a home this old or this big again. Give me a small home that is brand spanking new!
