we finally got a *serious* - i.e. not absolutely insulting - offer on the house. it's a couple that looked at it when we first put it on the market and they looked at it again when we recently slashed the price. the offer is still quite crappy, but given the current market, everyone we consulted, including our realtor, said that we really should ( Read more... )

definitely! we've thought about trying to rent it again if we had no luck selling it, but i'm uncomfortable with that whole ruse for the bank and insurance company. so better to just be done with that whole chapter. but oh how i will miss that house!

We lost money on the first house we sold and yeah, it bites, but it's not the end of the world...

it wouldn't be so bad if we weren't carrying a lot of consumer debt, much of which is directly related to the house. we were sort of counting on being able to get out of debt by selling the house. i guess if we'd sold it a few years ago (based on other identical houses on our block) we might have been able to. that's frustrating. and it means that now there won't be anything at all to put in savings toward a down payment on another house someday.

Bleh, that does suck. Another reason to be pissed at GWB for wrecking the economy.
