Hey Carnak, you're good, real good!
As I posted earlier, the “for sale” sign went up on Feb 5th, but we told the realtor not to advertise or show the house until the 12th, in order to finish up a few projects. On the 15th we had the agents from the real estate office tour the house. On the 19th, we had our first showing. On the 26th we had our 2nd showing. From the time the sign went up until the second showing, there must have been at least 10-15 people stop and look, some getting out and taking pictures, and we live on a country road.
Got a call on the evening of the 26th from our agent letting us know that the couple that saw it that day loved it, and were going to make on offer if I could answer a few questions first. The next day I got an e-mail with 20 questions that I promptly answered. We decided that we were not going to give it away, but had to be reasonable too, so we didn’t lowball it. They made an offer first thing Monday morning. Their offer was a little below what we wanted, so we countered, and their second offer was what we were looking for. Had the home inspection this weekend and it passed, now just waiting for results from the radon test, but the inspector says not to worry, that recently built homes are more likely to have radon than older homes.
The buyers are pre-qualified, so it shouldn’t be a problem, but who knows with banks today. If everything goes well, the closing is scheduled for April 15th. We have birthdays and a confirmation in early May, so we won’t be leaving until the 15th, but our goal is to make it for the May Crispers meeting!

And thanks to everyone for all the encouraging posts. All the positive energy made it work!
