The House is Sold!

The first showing of our house was Sunday at 4:30.  The potential buyers were there already at 4:20 so Jim and I hurried out as they waited in the cul de sac.   We walked at Notre Dame and then headed back at 5:20 but the realtor and his clients were still talking in the driveway.  So we hung out at the parking lot of the neighborhood pool until Wendell, our neighbor,  texted us to say they were gone.

We felt that it was a good sign that someone stayed more than an hour and it was.  Monday night we got word that the couple was waiting for pre-approval of their mortgage and hoped we would let them know if we got another offer.

We had one more showing on Monday--this time we hung out at the library.  And Tuesday morning we had an offer from the first clients for the full price.  Faith said she'd present it to us Wednesday morning.  We had one more showing Tuesday evening.

Faith was here this morning at 8:45 with the contract ready to go.  There were no problems with it--and the closing was set for June 3.  We signed with our Iphones again and that was it!  Only three showings which was disappointing, but we needed just one.

Faith said the family had six boys and so our big house was ideal for them.  They asked for beds--and the table tennis table.  Great.  They can have more if they want it!

There could still be complications with the mortgage and the inspections but that is unlikely--we hope!

Now we need a place lest we be homeless.  I contacted Avalon Princeton again and am on notification lists for 2 bedroom apartments with lofts.  That would be a great location and more space--and more expensive too of course.

We will move up our plans to go to Princeton from late April to early April and check out a few more places across Route 1.

This evening I felt free to leave my cookbooks on the counter and to take my library books out of hiding in the closet.  However, we did enjoy the uncluttered look and may try to keep that up somewhat.

Hooray!  The house is sold and I am happy to think of a big family living here.
