Going, Going, Gone

Sorry about not updating in a while. I’ve been very busy. Earlier this year Pam and I talked about selling our house and moving to a new condo. We searched for several months and found a great place near our jobs. The new place won’t be ready until early October so we had plenty of time to sell our house and prepare for the move. All that changed the other day.

We put our house on the market less than 2 weeks ago. The response was overwhelming with people coming in for showings multiple times every day. The home theater, large backyard and sunporch made our house stand out from similar properties in the area. Because of that, we sold it in 10 days. Actually the sale is still pending but everything looks good for a May 31st closing. The buyers need to move in 30 days later so that means Pam and I will be homeless until October. I congratulate the agents who helped with the sale of our house. Their attention to detail, marketing and great business attitude made the process a breeze.

We found a cool apartment to rent in a great location that’s only minutes from my work and takes off a good 45 minutes off of Pam’s travel time. She’s working on a project on the other side of town and it takes an hour and a half each way to commute.

So this deal is working out for all of us. We sold our house quickly (and for the price we wanted), we’re moving to a temporary place for the summer that’s closer to work for both of us and in the fall, we’ll be living it up in our new condo.

Remind me to get your addresses for the “Moving Party” and “Painting Party” we’ll be having later on.

The only problem is the area we are leaving will quickly go downhill. Without Pam and I to liven things up, nobody will want to live there.
