Trying to take this in small steps We are cleaning out and fixing what needs to be so the house can be listed. House hunting in the villages starts on Oct 26 for 5 days then it hope the house in nj sales fast so I can retire and move to the Villages
I would like any input thanks for listening  |
You are not alone, believe me. We've been doing the exact same thing.
However, we are waiting till after winter to list the house.
It's just "what's done" up here.....as winter can be a messy time to have folks traipsing through the house......so May 1st is a good target date.
We've always listed all of our homes on May 1st and they've always sold quickly.
However, the house looks so great now........I keep wondering "What are we doing?" We should just rent and winter in Florida. Why give up a perfectly beautiful comfortable home to live in a tinier version? Why give up all of our close friends and community for the unknown?
Then I think of the nice flat terrain, the warmer climate, and hopefully more sunshine than the rain of late (in Florida) and I know why. It's a better place to "age in place".........
