Welp, I suppose it’s time for another installment in the on-going saga… it has been almost 6 months since we put our house on the market. Talk about taking far longer than we EVER expected. And there is still no real end in sight. Sure, we have had quite a few people come through the house in the last month but no offer has been made. We did have an almost offer that you can read about here, if you’ve got the time.
Last week we had someone schedule a walk through (and they actually showed up & left a card! wow very professional!), so the husband emailed our agent to give him all the details. Later that same day the agent calls back to say how he, “appreciated us sending the info. but did you miss one?” Huh? “No, we didn’t miss one, but people have come through without leaving a card. Perhaps that’s what this agent did.” So, yeah, he says, “Well, I’m expecting an offer from them any day.”
WHAT!!!??? Excuse me? How come you haven’t said anything to us about these people?
Well there is a caveat, they want to bring out a pool contractor to see how much time & money it will take to have a pool installed. Uuummm, O.K. I’m not going to count on this one coming to fruition. It certainly sounds sketchy to me. In fact, Mr. Realtor, don’t ever tell us that you are expecting an offer. Tell us when you actually, physically have an offer burning your hands! It’s just too disappointing when you say ‘you think one is coming’ but then that never becomes reality. We are desperate to sell and our hopes rise so high when we hear those words. And then those hopes are smashed against the giant rocks that exist in our minds.
Man, oh Manischewitz, I am so over this whole thing. I really want to get this house sold so that we can start living in this house again (even if only temporarily). I miss my family room. Do you know, well technically you probably don’t unless you’ve been following this saga, we took the T.V. & other electronic devices out of the family room and we haven’t sat in there since! No Joke. We’re talking about 6 MONTHS. Basically when we put the T.V. back up in our bedroom ~cause we took that one down too, that room became our family room. You can always find us there.
I seriously miss being able to leave dishes in the sink for more than 5 minutes, I miss the luxury of leaving toys on the floor, and business papers on my desk. I will say one positive result from this experience (I’m trying with all my power to stay positive & find positive things to take from this ordeal) is that I can now do one million and one things in the morning & still manage to get myself ready for the day without being more than 10 minutes late for work. Which for me is basically on time.
I pray every day that we will get this house sold and be able to move on with our lives instead of being in perpetual limbo. Wish, pray, hope for me that we will sell this house!! PLEASE!!
Enough for now,
Ciao
