Our house is under contract - Chapter 2

If you have checked out my bucket list then you know one of the items on it is to sell our house!! Well it just went under contract!!!! After only ONE WEEK being listed with a Realtor!!!! Now on to the fun things - or the not so fun things.

CHAPTER 2 = THE DREADED HOME INSPECTION

In Chapter 1 I explained how much I hate to wait for things. Well I do but I also equally hate "not knowing" things! We didn't have a home inspection done when we moved in this house - we probably should have but we were so excited and anxious to move in that we opted out of it. The people that are buying our house have decided to have one done. This is going to be done on Saturday!!!!

We have had a lot of improvements done: brand new (top to bottom) kitchen; new windows throughout; new siding; new front and back door; we upgraded our wiring and plumbing; new garage door; new sidewalk, new front and back decks -

So that had me wondering - if you have had a home inspection done, what are the things that have come up?

Our house in under contract - Chapter 1

If you have checked out my bucket list then you know one of the items on it is to sell our house!! Well it just went under contract!!!! After only ONE WEEK being listed with a Realtor!!!! Now on to the fun things - or the not so fun things.

CHAPTER ONE = YOU WAIT
  • We wait for the buyers to secure their mortgage
  • We wait for the appraisal
  • We wait for the home inspection
  • We wait on our mortgage
  • We wait for closing
HAVE I EVER MENTIONED HOW MUCH I HATE TO WAIT??!!  This process is almost as stressful as adding a new baby to the family - in fact, I think I would rather add a baby to the family than go through this process one more time!!! I swore after the last time we moved - "I will never move again". Well here we are......MOVING!!!! This house no longer suits our needs or our wants! And I can't wait to move forward from here....as long as I don't have to wait too long!
