SOLD!




We sold our house yesterday and got more than we had dared hope after the way the market had softened in the past two months.
This past week has been an exercise in not going crazy- we-ell any crazier than I am already!! lol If I hadnt added that M.O.T.H would have :-)
We decided during the week not to be greedy- and the good karma seems to have paid off. Our home has been bought by a couple with two young daughters so it will be a family home again- a tad bittersweet in some ways but we are really pleased about that because the street is turning back into one of young families. When we arrived here it was one of older people many of whom have moved on in one way or the other. We will miss our neighbours a great deal to be completely honest but it was time for us to move on or we would have never done it.
Our Real Estate lady was brilliant- none of the smarm of the blokes I have come across and her honesty was refreshing to say the least. She admitted to me afterwards that like me she thought it was not going to sell because bidding was so slow initially. I left the room I was in to listen to the auction because it was killing me and I had only gone a few feet and the price had risen by 50,000 dollars!! It rocketed off yippee.
So tropics here I come and now after the end of this week when the buyers have had their second inspection I can FINALLY get down to some work for me- Yipppeee ki yay LOL
