Put move off to next year in hope things do better after

I hope I'm not going to "jinx" myself here, but we signed an offer on our home in Loganville just this morning. We've been on the market for almost 4 months. A realtor, not our realtor has shown our home two times to folks and just last night called and wanted to show it again. We left and had dinner out and returned about two hours later. Not thinking much about it, but our realtor called about 10:00 PM and said the family that saw the home this night wants to make an offer. The offer came in mid-morning and was 4 thousand dollars off our asking price with very little asking of anything else. Of course we jumped and accepted...signed and sent back. The package even had a letter of authorization from a bank. We have our fingers crossed nothing stops this from going through...

So hang in there and it will be your turn too.

Misery loves company!! I am also stuck here in GA trying to sell my house so i can live TV life. Just completed my second 6-month listing with the second of two realtors, and am seriously searching for a realty company that can actually get my house SOLD. Any/all recommendations from my fellow Georgians will be appreciated. My home is in the Sun City Peachtree development outside of Griffin. I know.....what WAS i thinking????? But i had never even heard of TV until i moved across the street from a couple who had lived there for 7 years, moved back to GA to be closer to their kids/grandkids, and have spent the past 2+ years telling me i need to move. After a recent visit to TV i realize how much of life i am missing and cannot wait to get down there.

We moved to Cumming Ga to be closer to grand kids. Three years and were ready for the villages. Live and learn. Hope the house sells soon

I spoke to the realtor that has shown our house to her clients during our home inspection today and both the inspector and realtor said the forclosures and short sales are slowing because of the junk on the market and resales are booming. She said people are buying resales at an alarming rate.. FAST.... now the but. She said the appraisals are coming in way under because of "conservative appraisers" the lenders are using. So, one sign resales are up, but they are not returning fair appraisals. I hope she was wrong in that aspect.

Good luck everyone. Us Georgia (metro Atlanta) people should meet if we "ever" get to the villages....

Hope she is right and the appraisers catch up! Best of luck!
