Boulder, Here We Come
We put our house on the market a couple of weeks ago. We spent months getting it ready to sell. It was hard work. For me, it was the worst home related experience I've endured. Packing up and moving was an excruciating experience but now, I think it's pretty easy. I hope that I never have to sell a home again - or at least, not for a looooong time. I guess our hard work paid off because after a week of being listed and averaging two showings a day - we got an offer.
The offer was about 20 grand less that what we asked and they also requested that we give possession on June 20th...both, ridiculous. The price we listed the home at was very reasonable and there's no way we can find a home and move into it within two weeks! So we countered with 5 grand less than asking and a possession date of July 19th.
They accepted! The house is under contract and we still average about two showings a day. It seems that people still want to see it even though it's basically sold. Maybe, we'll have a backup buyer. Although, I doubt that the current buyers will drop out.
So...calling all friends!! What are you doing mid-July? Wanna help us move? We need help loading and/or unloading and/or entertaining Anya. Food and drink will be provided, for sure.
