We bought our home here in TV in July 2011. Went home and started doing cosmetic changes to our house in VA to put it on the market come March 2012. Our retirement date was 12/31/11. We decided to interview some realtors in early October (three realtors, low, low, high). Went with the third and priced our house $10,000 below her suggested listing price on 10/21/11. Came down to TV 10/31/11 for a week, Disney for a week, and back to TV. Got a call from our realtor telling us to come back to VA...house is SOLD ($5,000 below asking price)! We couldn't believe it. You just never know! Made settlement 12/28/11. Moved into our home in TV 12/30/11. I still feel like I am on vacation...gosh I love this place. Make sure your house is clean, get rid of clutter (we rented a storage unit to store our excess "things), make sure your house has curb appeal, and most important price it to sell. Good luck to you both!
