It’s been a busy couple of weeks!
My house went on the market on 11/1.so much work went into getting my house ready to show and it looks like it paid off. I have had 16 showings since then and 1 offer so far.
This is all very exciting. I am very proud of myself for doing all of this on my own. I am usually nervous about new things and this a big new thing. But I am am feeling pretty calm about all of this. My mom says it’s because I am ready for it, emotionally, mentally. I guess she is right. Moms are very smart.
So now I am working on finding a new place to live in a new state. Originally, I was going to move in with family but it turns out that I can afford to buy a house where I am going.
I have already spoken with a realtor, gotten pre qualified for a mortgage and have been looking at listings. I love looking at houses!
I am also selling all my furniture in my current home for 2 reasons; Its expensive to move and it just holds too many memories, just like the house. I want to start fresh in my new place as much as possible. And what I make from selling will pay for the what I need when I get to my new destination.
The people who made the first offer want to close by 12/23, which would be great! I really wanted to move before the new year. My job gets so busy at the start of the year so I really need to be set up and ready to work. Depending on the closing of my new home, I may have to stay with family but that shouldn’t be for long at all, maybe a month or so.
An update on my kitty. I have checked in with Charlotte, her new mommy, and it looks like Bebe is settling in nicely. I want to visit before I leave.
I am excited about embarking in a new adventure. A great way to start a new year as well.
Who else is doing something big right now?
Congratulations! It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to say “out with the old and in with the new!” You’ll do great! 🙂
Thank you
WOW, that’s even more good news than the offer – you can buy your own place! That will be so much better for you and your relative – no having to adjust to different ideas, no risk to your relationship, and it will truly be your own space. I’m thrilled for you, and I really hope to follow your lead in the near future.
And thank you for the update on Bebe. I’ve been wondering about her, but didn’t want to ask.
Aww, thank you. Yes the
Bebe topic is a hard one to talk about. In this new scenario, I could have kept her but in the long run, the less animals, the better during the move and financially.
And I am sending you positive thoughts on your future as well. Life is short, make it happen.
Congrats. If it had been a race, you already beat me. I haven’t had any offers due to smell of cats. Working on it as I write this. Looking forward to hearing about your move.
I had two people make comments about my house one said smell of cat but I haven’t had a cat here in about a couple weeks now and one said smell of dogs I did my best to wash all the rugs in my house I just have throw rugs but in my master I have a 1Bob1 by 11 area rug and I could not watch that.
I mean wash that..
