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.
We have a Veranda for sale in Marsh Bend. PM me if you're insterested.
