But with market conditions the way they are, and rising interest rates, we decided to bring a realtor in to have a chat.
Wow. The realtor was super excited about our house. They priced it about $100k over what we thought we'd get for it. And encouraged us not to do the upgrades we were planning. We even told the realtor the soonest we could move out of the house is July (kid needs to finish school) and they said that'd be no problem.
So we signed and will be listing it in a couple weeks! AIEEEEEE!
Of course, house prices in TV are also super high, so I don't know that we'll be able to get more house than we'd planned - and may still struggle to get into a Veranda like we really want. But we're now entering a time of manic cleaning & packing.
If things progress as they seem to be, we could be looking for a house in TV by the end of May!
See you all soon.

Best of luck to you!! We just sold our R.I. home and immediately following closing on 4/29 will be making the long ride to TV. We secured a rental in TV for May and June and hopefully that will be sufficient time to be able to purchase a new smaller designer home or CYV. One POD has been packed and gone, and a 2nd smaller was delivered yesterday and packing it will be our project today. We have already arranged the shipping of our car as we are driving down in a rental van because that will be easier with our two cats that also have scheduled Vet checks this week so they will be updated on their shots.
We knew a year ago this was the time we were going to sell and move to TV as I wanted to be retired 1st which happened in September, so we did some updates to our home as well as packed and got rid of junk over the course of a year. I can't even imagine trying to do most of what we did over the course of a year in +/- one month, but I guess if there is a will there is a way.
Again, wish you the best with the sale of your home and move to TV.
