So when to decide to sell your house, you hear all these stories of people that sell their houses in a month or two. They maybe have one or two showings and they are done. That is not what we experienced. We had to clean the house any time we left. We didn’t make dinner some nights for fear we would have to leave and not have time to clean up.
This week was no exception. We got called for a showing and of course I was working and was running late. My son learned how to clean counters and vacuum floors quickly. He helped so much to make sure we were ready. At it finally paid off. We got an offer. Now until we close I will not get my hopes up too high, but today when they asked for a showing and there were cars all over the floor, laundry all in baskets, and me not even dressed, it was great to be able to say NO!
I am glad that we have had this experience because it has helped to teach our family that anything you want takes effort and not everything comes easy or when you want them. Some things come to us when we need them, not when we want them. With the time frame, if we sell the house we will have a place to stay, the new area in the addition opened up and we can get the lot we really want.
I hope this deal goes through and we can finally build the house we want and make it our home.
