We finally got word today that our house deal is going through. It actually sold pretty quickly. At first the buyers didn't have a house to sell, but it turned out the deal on their house fell through over the Memorial Day weekend. Then they wanted to add that house sale as a contengency. Well, it all worked out because they were able to sell it, financing is approved, and everyone is happy.
We are going to rent a patio villa in Hemmingway from Sept. til Dec. while we look for a house. We want to look at preowned, new-already built, and maybe end up having one built so we can get just what we want. I'm so excited!!
Now, a question-is there a storage area nearby that we can use to store what we will be bringing? Hopefully it won't be too much stuff because the buyers of our house may want to buy a lot of the furnishings. PODS doesn't move things from NY to FL unless you rent the largest container, according to their web site. GO-mini doesn't move out of state, so we maybe renting a truck or trailer to move our stuff, therefore will need a storage facility when we get there.

Wow! Kitty, that is wonderful! As far as storage goes, Ft. Knox is one that I've noticed because of the name. Their web site (http://www.selfstorageservicesinc.co...da/TheVillages) has a number you could call. I'm not recommending them, I just remember the name (brain too cluttered up with junk like that!).

Good for you Kitty and company!

How about using the garage of your rental unit as storage, if you don't have too much? We pulled trailers down three times, but we had the luxury of not having to empty a house.

Keeping my fingers crossed that will fall into place for you too.

Welcome to Paradise. You earned it!!

Kitty! I am so happy for you!!!! You are one of the lucky ones who have sold quickly, thats great!!!! CONGRATULTIONS! LOOKING FORWARD TO MEETING YOU IN TV.

Thanks everybody for the Congrats and warm welcome. The people buying our house want to buy the furniture also. We're not sure exactly what/how much-still to be worked out, but we're hoping not to have to move too much. When I find out how much "stuff" we have, I'll have a better idea how we will be moving it. I'm checking out the storage places suggested too.
We are renting a patio villa in Hemmingway for 4 months starting in Sept. I read Linda's post in another thread about renting for a few months to see what you really want. She mentioned that things she thought were important turned out not to be. I can see that happening. Hope to meet some of you this fall!

Congrats on selling! Just remember to pack only what you really want! I am going through boxes saying " why in the world did I think I wanted that!" Into the trash!

Hi Kitty,

I think the renting is a great idea - and to rent a patio villa is brilliant! We come from larger homes in our earlier lives and until you live in a smaller space you aren't really sure of what will work.

We lived in a small CYV on our lifestyles, lived in a small condo in MB before we moved here and also stayed with friends in a Lantana - huge difference. It helped us decide more easily.

One factor for us is that our kids are 5-6 hours away - so we decided to go bigger. I loved the villas - the hubs did not. But I prefer we found that out in the looking phase and not after we bought.

Kitty,
Congratulations! We are outside of Watertown, NY,and still waiting for that right buyer. You give me hope that we'll be in TV before long, also.
Best wishes!!!

Wow, Joan! So many of us from Central NY! Wonder why?

And Kitty, given that Otisco and Tully are probably less than 5 miles apart, it will be interesting to see where I meet you first, here or in TV.
