Default Here we go again...

...another ride on the house selling rollercoaster.

We had a VERY interested "drive-by" looker around 3:30pm and the Realtor called at 4:30 to ask if she could show our house at 6:30. We cleaned up a bit and vacated the house.

We drove through the 'hood around 7:00 and saw the "lookers'" vehicle in our driveway along with the Realtor's vehicle.

Realtor called with a post-showing report saying the prospective buyers are golfers. We live about 3/4 of a mile from the largest golf facility north of Boston and our house is decorated in a golf theme...lots of golf artwork on the walls.

The prospective buyers are now on a long ride home to NJ so they have plenty of quality time to discuss whether or not they want to make an offer.

So it is pins and needles time for us again in the Northeast. Good wishes and crossed fingers are requested from TOTV'ers! Maybe we'll be joining the lucky few that were able to sell their homes "up north" and realize the dream of living in TV.

Maybe we can be as lucky as Gracie!

Since the prospective buyers are avid golfers, you should tell them about The Villages. Surely, Florida is a better place to play golf than in the Boston area.

Oh Dirigo,
It sounds like good karma. Please, please, please, let this be the one. My fingers and toes crossed.

Please let this be the one.

Wow - and here we just talked about this a couple of nights ago.

TBugs - no one would call central Maine "the Boston area" who has ever been there.... with no disrespect to you, Boston or Maine!
