17. Sell our townhouse.
It’s a long, boring story, so here’s the quick version:
- House put on market in mid-June.
- Barely any traffic throughout the summer. Losing hope.
- Late-September offer (our first!) for $55k under our asking price.
- Lots of laughter; played hard ball.
- Agreed to $6,500 under our asking price. Win!
- Packed and packed and packed and packed and packed and packed. Damn, we have too much stuff.
- Moved out of our house on October 29. Supposed to also be the closing.
- Wait and wait and wait and wait and wait. Our buyers turn out to be jerks.
- Finally closed on November 24. HALLELUJAH!
Thanksgiving morning, Alex and I woke up and immediately checked our bank accounts online. For the first time in 6 years, there was no mortgage to pay off!
Now, we get to start making our selections for our new house in Monroe Manor in Monroe Township. This week, we pick out siding, roofing, shutters, stones. Many pictures will be posted.
And for anyone else trying to sell their home, you have my deepest sympathies. Good luck!
