I AM FREEEEEEEE!!!!
My Realtor called today. My house is sold. It's a done deal, no backing out.
THANK. FUCKING. GOD.
I'll be so glad to get out of here. With the amount of snow we've had, it's been an adventure to get in and out of our driveway, and with two more days of snow in the forecast, I was getting ready to shoot myself. I now need to quickly find an apartment in the city, and get packed. Luckily, when we put the house up for sale, I cleaned out every closet and cupboard and drawer, and D already took a lot of stuff up north with him. I don't have that much packing to do, which I'm really happy about.
I feel like I've been holding my breath since the 2nd, when the offer was made. They could've backed out at any time, and with the shit they put us through, I was half-expecting to get the call today telling me there was no sale.
But, they took it. DONE. It's signed, sealed and delivered.
We didn't get what we wanted for it, or what it was worth. Not even close. But, we wanted to get the hell out, so we took the low offer. Too many places for sale around here to bicker about it. We're both still walking away with some cash, so I'm thankful for that.
But, what a couple of fucking assholes. They kept pushing the closing dates further into the month, and kept wanting to push the possession date earlier, which would've left us literally no time to get the hell out (they're special snowflakes, yes sir!). They pissed and moaned over everything, stalled, tried to bargain us down even more, pissed and moaned some more, and they wanted to take possession of the garage a week early (WTF? How about 'NO'?). They had deadlines to meet, then waited until the last minute to hire the property inspector and appraiser, which delayed things even more.
Even my Realtor, who's dealt with some hellish buyers, said these people were a real piece of work. He was royally pissed at them, and at one point, he almost asked them if they were nuts (I wondered the same thing).
But, I'm past the point of caring. I'm out of here. By February, I'll have a smaller place, someone else to remove the snow, easy access to everything, no icy highways to drive on, REAL INTERNET WOOHOO OH DEAR GOD I CANNOT WAIT, public transportation, lower living expenses, and peace of mind. I can finally start moving on with my life, and get out of this holding pattern I've been in for the last ten months.
College, here I come!
One tiny little part of me will be sad to leave, because in the spring and summer, it really is a gorgeous place to live, but cost of living and the work involved just aren't worth it.
I'm so happy right now, there are no words. I'm squeeing my ass off and dancing with my dog.
