Pray that house sells

[lighter]

Good luck ::sending you selling vibes::

Don't forget to list all the great things about your house so the realtor can tick them off when showing it.  Nearest markets and attractions, the local thing you enjoy doing and all the off beat things they wouldn't know about if you didn't tell them. 

Do you enjoy the sunset from the back porch, is there something particular they could picture themselves doing that you would have to point out for them?

Today we bought some cheap laminate and took it over to the house-the couple whose son lives in California put an offer on the house and we accepted!  The closing date will be Dec 7!  So now we have to take the laminate back!  But praise God!

Whew!

Congratulations, Kelly!

I know!  I am so relieved!  Now it just needs to pass an inspection and done!  My H says we lost 20000 but I say it never would have sold at that price.  It really was only on the market for six weeks!

YAY! YAY!

Congrats Overcomer!

WOW Kelly. Congrats!. I know that you are experiencing profound relief. It is hurtful to look at what you "lost" as your H is doing.It is really not the 'right"way to look at it b/c it is ALL the market--totally. The market is out of anyone's control.
               Love to You ,  Ami

Congratulations!! That's great!!

Our neighbor's house was priced too high to start with - and it was on the market for 2 years.  Not only did they not get their asking price, but they got punished down to a lower price than any of the other houses that sold in the mean time because somehow their house just developed a bad reputation and sat on the market.  They sold it for over 100,000 lower than they asked at first.  Your H should be thanking his lucky stars that you have a good deal in the works!

Well the deal almost fell through because they thought the new floor was part of the deal.  We never countered their offer so today they asked for more.  We almost could not get our $ back from the place we bought the flooring from and they did not want THAT flooring but wanted us to put in what they wanted and pay for it.  We said no (but I would have budged if it would have broken the deal.)  They said they at least wanted to cost of what we paid for the flooring.  Our realtor took it out of

his commission so the deal is done.  Just got to get the inspection and then it is done.  Plus the realtor got the listing and the people used him to buy it so he got a double commission!  He can afford the money!

Dear Kelly,
  I am so glad that it got resolved.                                      Ami

It's nice when someone else budges to get the deal done, huh?

And all this was over.... how much?

You should have countered..... they always think they bid too high when they don't get a counter. 

SOOOO glad that's out of the way.... let's hope it doesn't fall through; )

Absolutely delighted for your answered prayers ((( Kelly )))

Love, Leah

Yes I hope everything goes well and all goes through without a hitch.  Now I am decorating the new house with a vengence!  Anyone know where I can buy a beautiful horizontal picture to hang over my fireplace?

You can use 2 or 3 smaller square ones or vertical ones as well.... so keep your eye open.

I like breaking things up and going outside the symetrical box, myself.

So glad house deal is still on..... ::running to get kids up on good note::

Bought a real bright Tuscany looking picture.....black candlesticks and pillars.  Above the fireplace.  It is pretty.
