We live in northern suburbs of Atlanta and well cared for homes are selling fast. We got three full offers in 72 hours. Going through the packing and purging phase. Sometimes I find it tough. Garage sale is Saturday.

One bit of very good moving advise. Go to office supply store and see if they will give you the boxes copy paper comes in - the ones with a lid. They are just big enough that you don't over pack. Or find a company that prints statements for gas or electricity company they have tons of these boxes.

We are moving to a rental home In Atlanta (not retirement age yet) and looking forward to our final move to our forever home in The Village of Duval, which we bought last year.

Coming for a week Memorial Day. Save us a seat at Sumter for dancin'. Oh no can't save seats - I am not a rule breaker

Whimsey ~ packing is the worst, but once you get here you will LOVE it and it will all be worth it. We sold, auctioned and gave away so much in Pennsylvania before coming down here and we quickly realized there was so much more to give away, sell, etc : ) but it's all good, this place IS paradise!!! Hope you sell soon !!

Don't despair, hope2soon. We just signed an agreement with a buyer whose original offer was so far below our asking price, that we didn't bother to counter at first. Yet, as time went on and they went up little by little, and we completed our design for our build in TV, got our settlement date, that first buyer hung around through others' offers, and we finally met at a place we were willing to settle. In any event, I've learned a lot through this process, the most important of which is to never blow off any offer or prospective buyer. I do certainly understand the desire to use an expletive!!!

Whimsey:

Decluttering is a freeing experience. It's sometimes difficult to decide what to pack and what to throw away. You get there!!!

Best wishes for the speedy sale of your home. It's starting to be a sellers market. IMHO
