This was surprising to us as well as we did not expect this....
Put our house on the market Oct 12, 2006 and had our first visitor on Oct 13, 2006 at 7:30 pm ....had a verbal at 10 :30 pm the same day....closed 5 weeks later and suddenly and unexpectedly moved to our " rental villa" in the Villages on Nov 21..... still unpacking as we are both still fully employed and limited time to unpack....
No regrets...would do it again. btw... we did the " designed to sell" suggestions to sell quickly...we packed up all personal items and made it look and feel as if it were a resort or a hotel. Repainted and made it very neutral and followed the television show recommendations of neutralizing and depersonalizing to a tee....less than 24 hours to a written contract! We had a St. Joseph but never was able to get him into the ground before the contract!
