Default Single Wannabees Stuck in the Slump

On another thread, jmemc46 was wondering how many other single wannabees were also waiting to sell their houses in order to be able to move to The Villages.

So, check-in and give us an update.

As for me, I removed my FSBO signs until next spring, expecting to enjoy my favorite season - the fall - and hope this coming winter will not be as severe as the last.

I am one of those TV wannabees. I am here 'til the end of October, and then will head home to put my house on the market..with a little bit of luck (and help from St. Joseph), I will be here by the Spring.

Me too. Waiting to sell here in CT. I did however buy a house in TV, but will probably end up renting one or the other over the winter months. My agent tells me that there are people out there looking to buy up here, but they're hesitating and just won't pull the plug.

Actually, the photo was taken at my place of employment in - around 1982ish - when I was working in the narcotics squad (secretary) and it was a confiscated piece of evidence

Default Waiting to sell

I have been to the villages a couple of times now along with friends and family. Have the house style picked out and now I wait. Hope I can be there by Christmas. Can't wait to meet other singles.

I could probably post as SteveArmyRet, having done so 20 years ago! My God, it can't be that long!

A single (lost my wife to cancer slightly more than 8 years ago) and planning to remain so. I don't necessarily participate in singles events, activities, etc., (I worry that they're too likely to be matchmaking societies ), but am always glad to others!

Cool don't miss out on the fun!

just responding to the second army retiree who says he does not attend single events...hope you will reconsider meeting some of us. we are harmless. most of us do not want to get married, either, but nice to have an occasional dance partner or a group of friends to go out with...our friend tkret was so impressed he bought a home on the spot this weekend! just ask him!

to all the wannabe's, keep the faith and sooner or later your home will sell...probably worth reducing the price to get on with your life here in paradise...i am just arrived in august and am very happy here already!

Chachacha, I couldn't have said it better if I tried. It IS nice to have a dance partner, someone to enjoy a lunch or dinner with, take in a movie, bowl a game, etc. Doing these things with another is NOT a recipe for a walk down the aisle, but is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening with a very good friend. Our lives are enriched when we spend time with a friend and in my humble opinion it is enriched even more when it's with someone of the opposite sex because we can learn things we would have never thought of before.

Default how to sell your home

hi wannabee's... i read on another thread that blondie was going to plant st joseph in her back yard to get her house sold. i never did like that method and so i did something else which worked for me. you must walk around your home and property nine times, all the time releasing your home and yourself to cherish your memories together and to move on to a new owner and a new life....couldn't hurt to try! everything is spiritual in life, after all....

Blondie ... are you getting out of Dodge because I'm on my way there? And, what happened to the "md" part of your TOTV handle?
