We are moving down the 17th and only then will we be able to get our house in Montgomery ready to put on the market. Now is certainly not to time to sell a home in Alabama, but we closed on our TV home in mid-July. Waiting is no longer an option. Can cover both mortgages for a while, even though that was not our plan. Due to a number of circumstances, we simply couldn't get our home ready to sell while living in it. With a 92-year old MIL and two dogs, it was just too much to pack them up and ride around while the house was being shown. We are moving to TV come hell or high water, and will deal with everything else as it comes up. See y'all in "paradise" in a week!!
 Oh, after getting DW and MIL settled, I will be coming back to Montgomery to supervise the multiple things to get this house ready to get on the market. So don't panic. As Don Knotts said when asked if he was nervous, he replied "NOPE"! (But you knew he was.  ) I'm a little nervous because I'm going on blind faith, but know in my heart that everything will work itself out if I keep my shoulder to the grind stone!  Good luck with your decisions. You've gotten some great advise here (as I've always gotten), so hang in there and take things one step at a time and you won't overwhelm yourselves.

I would put the house up for sale and or rent today. Then start getting it ready. If someone sees it today and does not buy as it is not ready to show you have lost nothing.
If cash is a problem can you get a mortgage on your current home and use that cash to support the mortgage payments etc until you sell the house? |

Oh my, sounds like something that could happen to me. I hope you don't mind me asking but how old are you and your wife?
I want to move and the villages seems like a great place for me and my husband along with another home for my parents. I am 49 and hub is 52 so we were figuring we have to wait a couple of years and we too have to get our house ready before placing on the market. Please keep us posted as to what you will do and how smooth the transition goes |
