View Full Version : House Sold

I didn't want to say anything too soon; however, I can barely contain myself any longer. My house sold and I will be closing on December 19th. I will be headed to TV right after Christmas to find a new home. I want to thank God, St. Joseph, and my realestate agent. I will say some prayers for those of you who are still trying to sell your homes, as I feel very fortunate.

Boy Captain, are you ever right. Joe the motorcycle shipper belly laughed when I called him to say...uh Joe, I have to send my bike back to TV. It had only been sitting in my garage in MD for 10 days when I made that call.:ohdear:

Congrats, Blondie, my friend. I'm so excited for you. Can't wait for you to get here. But, please give me some time to get over Donna and Nonie's departures. They really wore me out, and you know,
I'M OLD!!! Can't take all this activity.
Remember, I have lots of room in my house while you're looking for a house. I don't charge as much as the Waterfront. LOL...

Can't wait to see ya!

Great news.....good for you. One word of caution having closed on a house last month, selling the house for us was the easy part, closing was another story, remember they are 2 seperate and distinct events. Stay close to your real estate agent and make sure you are aware of any issues. We had 3 different closing dates, fortunately we had a solvent purchaser who only made it happen because they really wanted our home. I only point this out because these are different times, I wish you the best....GN

Great news Blondie. I am very happy for you. Like F16 we are still hanging tough although I must admit its getting harder. We had a showing today and they stayed all of 6 minutes. The realtor called me afterwards and said that they came in and saw the cats and the wife screamed and ran out the door. Scared of cats it seems. So depressing but one of these days.......I'll be writing in with good news.

Blondie, Congratulations!
OUMA, F16,
Keep the faith! Suffered through 6 months on the market last year, won't bore you with the datails.
Put the house back on in September and we are now under contract!
Prospective buyers are even cat lovers.
Fingers crossed their mortgage gets approved and with a little bit of luck
we'll be Villagers next year.

Bare,
I will be spending Christmas here in MD with my family, and then head to TV. :pepper2:
I also decided that I didn't want to take my furniture with me, so I advertised it online on Friday AM, and as of now, I only have 2 bakers racks left...everything else is sold and has been removed from my house.....am I loosing my mind...now, I not only have no home, but I have no belongings either. YIKES I must be having a midlife crisis...or a psychotic episode.
I am still sending some Irish luck to those of you who are trying to sell your homes. :sigh: Thanks again, for all th good wishes.

OH NO! Blondie,
No home and no furniture, how lucky can you get??? Alot of us wish we could trade places with you. You done good, real good. LOL:coolsmiley:

Hi Blondie,
Good for you. I did exactly the same. I sold most all of my furniture and lived with an aerobed and a couple of pieces that my kids wanted and picked up just before I made the move. Even so, I had about 100 boxes filled with my clothes, favorite kitchen stuff, craft/sewing things, linens, pictures, mirrors and do-dads. Congratulations and I can't wait to meet you. KathieI speaks highly of you.
For all the other wannabees, be optimistic and keep the faith. If you're willing to sell without making huge profits and sell at today's market price, hang in. It will happen.
Barefoot

Blondie, I applaud your courage. Selling your home and your furniture at market price can be a heart wrenching experience. However it will enable you to really make a fresh start in TV. You are a practical woman and have a lot of guts. You already have so many friends in TV.
2009 will be the start of a golden time for you. :beer3:
