Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

We have another realtor showing the house today. This will be showing number 31!!! It is getting exhausting running around cleaning the house constantly, so maybe this will be the one? Say a prayer for us, please!!!!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Good luck. I have been using 6 1 3 along with 2 2 4 in my international project for survivors' of crimes rights to practical information since 1993 and have had an awful lot of good luck with these. 31 is not 13 but at least it is an inversed 1 3.

I have started seeing these numbers everywhere but maybe I have really gone completely crazy as some people have suggested. :joke:

Harry Potter's birthday along with his creator J.K. Rowling is July 31.

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Good luck!!! Thinking of you.... Please post what happens.

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Know exactly what you're going through.

The cats don't come out from under the bed anymore, only to eat and go potty.

What a way to live (sigh)

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

SS, Great good luck to you! Hope this is the charm. :bigthumbsup:


Tal, Did you every study Numerology. I love it! It's fascinating. Yes, I believe numbers mean a lot. Call me nuts too (as many do LOLOL :joke:) but I chose our house in Bloomingdale, IL by the lot number and address. And also our home here in the Villages.

I love the study of numbers and also color.

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

ss - I lost count of the number of showings we had, and it is one of the more stressful home life situations my wife and I have lived through in all our years of marriage . It's just so out of your control! I understand exactly what you're going through and hope it ends soon.
Good luck!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

When we were first married, my husband was in the service, so we lived in a trailer.
When he got out, we decided to sell it and move into an apartment. I remember my husband's young cousin laughing his :edit: off because of the way I zipped through cleaning it when someone was coming to look. I sold it to the first person who came, so I guess it paid off. I shocked my husband by getting rid of it so fast.

Re: Will 32 be our lucky number?
 

We have another showing again tomorrow morning. Our realtor still hasn't heard back from the realtor that showed the house on Tuesday, and that usually means that they aren't interested. Tal, I'm hoping that your numbers aren't going to be my lucky ones because that would mean I would have to wait until showing number 42 or showing number 61 to have any luck. I'm praying for something much sooner than that!

Re: Will 32 be our lucky number?
 

Let's hope 32 or 33 are your lucky numbers sschuler. ;D

Re: Will 33 be our lucky number?
 

Well, number 32 didn't work out! So now we are on to the open house this coming Sunday. Hoping for good weather and lots of serious buyers!!!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Well, this was the first open house that we had that was a total bust. Not a single person stopped by. It was raining, but we have had rain before on open house day and still had lookers. All that cleaning for nothing!!!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

>:( thats not right!! I will have to have a private conversation with St. Joseph!! :bigthumbsup:

Re: Will 33 be our lucky number?
 

Showing number 33 tonight at 6:30 pm. We only need one buyer to fall in love with the house, right? This could be the one!!! Say a prayer for us!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Sending lots of prayers your way! Think positive.. :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

awww, ss, I'm praying for you too. Its such a great feeling when you finally sell and don't have to clean but pack, pack, pack, pack, pack.... oh my aching back!!

Good Luck!! It will happen, it just takes the right one. Here's hoping for ya!

Re: Will 33 be our lucky number?
 

It looks like #33 is interested. They have asked for a list of our utilities expenses and taxes. We are praying that they make an offer. Please say a little prayer that this is our buyer!!!!!

Re: Will 33 be our lucky number?
 

Oh, sschuler1, prayers are heading your way that this is a sale!!! Let us know ASAP. I got my place sold in AZ and will be heading to TV next month to check out some resales. Really hope you will be doing the same thing real soon.

Re: Will 33 be our lucky number?
 

That's great - good luck!

Re: Will 33 be our lucky number?
 

They are extremely interested and are coming back for a second look on Thursday and to write an offer. Their realtor told ours that she has shown them over 50 homes, and this is the first one that they have liked. So that is encouraging. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, I would be way too disappointed if I do and they don't make an offer. Redwitch, it's time to light a candle!!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

sschuler,
I'm crossing my fingers and toes for ya!!!!!! :bigthumbsup:

Re: Will 34 be our lucky number?
 

We have #33 coming back tomorrow for a second look at 7 pm, and they are supposed to be writing an offer. (per their realtor) But we have #34 coming to see the house tomorrow at 4:30 pm first. Could we finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? I am feverishly cleaning the house and mowing the lawn today. (and sneeking in a little TOTV time!)

The Villages, Florida

Re: Will 34 be our lucky number?
 

For us, it was the one who came after we stopped caring about how the place looked who bought. And we also wound up with 2 interested buyers at once.

One of these could be your buyer! GOOD LUCK!!!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Hi sschuler1

Just wondering if you have heard anything, and, perhaps, I missed it.

Re: Will 35 be our lucky number?
 

I just spoke to my realtor and she said they are still working on the offer. We are hoping to still hear something today. We have showing #35 tomorrow at 10:30 am though. She is going to call their realtor and let them know there is another showing tomorrow, so hopefully the activity on the listing will spur them on to getting the offer in right away. I HATE the waiting!!!! (and all the cleaning constantly!)

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Oooh, good luck, sschuler, I hope they make an offer that is acceptable to you soon :bigthumbsup:

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

I know all too well how you are feeling ss, but you have to be very encouraged by all of the showings you are having! We had our home on the market since last Thanksgiving with very little activity in the last 6 mo. We were getting ready to take it off the market and were resigned to staying here awhile when our "dream buyers" came through and wrote an offer July 30th! All contingencies were met within the 1st week and we are moving at the end of Sept. So, don't get discouraged....it will sell and sometimes when least expected.

By the way, we are not Catholic, but we sold 6 weeks after burying St. Joseph in the front yard and no home in this area has sold in our price range in over a year! I think I will now have to start caticism classes!! :o

Good Luck, Karen

Re: Will 35 be our lucky number?
 

I spoke with our realtor yesterday and she told me that #34 might still be interested and has a few more houses to look at before making a decision. She also said that #35 might be interested as well. Number 33 came back for their second showing and brought a friend who specializes in feng shui to check out the property with them. They said the house is very feng shui and the energy of the house is fine, and that they needed the weekend to pray about the offer. She is expecting that we will receive an offer early this week. (Seems their realtor jumped the gun telling ours that they were writing the offer this weekend. Guess she didn't know that they needed to pray about it first!) I can't wait until this is over. Craig's last day of work is this Friday. We were hoping to have the house sold around this time.

Re: Will 35 be our lucky number?
 

You must really be getting so tired of this.....keep pluggin away!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

sschuler

have you got a contract yet?
I had 3 showings this week, nobody is talking contract though. The last people really liked the house, but nothing yet.
Good luck. Benj

Re: Will 35 be our lucky number?
 

Still waiting on the offer from #33. They decided to wait until after the Labor Day weekend. We didn't have any showings this week, so that is disappointing. We told our realtor that we will be taking the house off the market Nov. 1st. We don't want to have to go through this during the holidays. We will do some travelling during the winter, and then come back and put it back on the market again in spring. We still have 8 weeks left on our listing, so I'm not giving up yet for this year. Benj, hope you have better luck than us.

Re: Will 36 be our lucky number?
 

We had showing #36 yesterday at 6 pm. We are out of town for a few weeks (hubby retired on Friday!), so we are waiting to hear from our realtor if they liked it or not.

Re: Will 37 be our lucky number?
 

Showing #37 today between 5 and 6 pm. We are down to our last 6 weeks before we take the house off the market for the winter. We decided we wouldn't go through this during the holidays, and then we could go somewhere during the winter and not have to worry about the house. Will put the house on the market again in the spring. Say a prayer for us!

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

ss.. good luck and I hope your home sells. Did you try the St.Joseph statue "thing"?

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

sschuler

I'm with you If I dont sell soon I'm going to take the sign down before the legs rust off.
Last week had 3 showings. The last one was here when I got home so I asked for feedback They said they looked at 16 houses and mine was the best. Best condition, best price, best lot, yada yada yada. So I said ,let me guess, you have a home to sell? and I was right. There goes that deal.
Anyway good luck with yours.
I was asking about you yesterday, we were talking broasted chicken and I suggested Three brothers on joy road as the best. What do you think? Benj

Re: Will 37 be our lucky number?
 

JohnN - I planted St. Joe months ago, head first and facing the road. He is in the flowerbed, so should be easy to dig up and bring him with us when we sell.

benj - We go to Three Brothers all the time, but I've never tried their broasted chicken. I can never resist getting the stuffed cabbage or the pierogis when I am there, so I probably will never try it. I also love their chicken and dumplings soup. You can never go wrong recommending that restaurant. Sorry to hear you are still having trouble selling your house as well. I agree that it is a vicious circle, because everyone needs to be able to sell before they can buy! Only those first time homebuyers that aren't in that same boat, and they are having more difficulty getting loans nowadays.

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?

I'm so jelose I had to quit the soup. It filled me up and I couldnt eat anything else. The fried pork chops arn't bad either yum.
One thing about the Denver area I dont like is other than mexican there isnt alot of different kinds of food. Oh for some good baklava (sp?) Benj

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

Hi - know exactly how you feel - our house has been on the market for 3 months. Dropped the price $20K and put on a new roof - sick of making sure that everything is perfect. Had the fung shwei thing - one said because you come in the front door and right up the stairs bad fund shwei????? Had another woman fall in love with the house - she hadn't been preapproved - when she did get approved it was for $160K less than what we are asking?????? One guy didn't like the stairs (we have a Cape) because of his prosthetic leg!!!! Another liked it but decided to go to another house - same price - on a busier street (our street was too quiet). Another couple showed up 1 hour early (raced home from work) realtor sat with their baby while my hubby showed the house! Very frustrating.

We planted St. Joseph - next to the For Sale sign face down - facing the house??? What is the St. Joseph prayer.

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

I was told by a few peeps last night on chat that #39 was gonna be our buyer. I will reiterate that I will buy you dinner if you are correct! That means I only have to put up with two more showings before we get the ever important offer! Keeping my fingers crossed that you are right!!!!!

Johudd - It's frustrating going through this process! I complain to my husband everytime that someone says the backyard is too small, or we don't like the garage being under the house, or etc, etc,...... DON'T THEY LOOK AT THE PICTURES BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO COME AND SEE THE HOUSE? My cousin told me to plant St. Joe facing the way someone would come up to your house. And of course, head first. I don't have a particular prayer that I say. Someone told me there was supposed to be one in the box, but mine didn't come with one. I've been making up my own prayers. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong!!

Re: Will 37 be our lucky number?
 

Well, it seems that number 37 is going to be coming back for a second showing. The wife is viewing all the houses and narrowing it down for the top few for the husband to come and look at. Their realtor told ours that we are at the top of their list. They should be scheduling their second look in the next few days.

Re: Will 31 be our lucky number?
 

At least you have a broker doing a good job.39 Lookers. In california I hear no one is even looking. Our's is not on market at this time. I'm not in a hurry and will wait for market correction. We have a little over 3 years to go.
