we're as good as.....

SOLD!!!

got a message yesterday that the buyer would not, could not, go anywhere near what we were counteroffering. but her agent said she would do anything to convince her buyer to meet us half way which was our lowest price we wanted to sell the house for. stupid, crappy market. her agent also gave up the $1000.00 bonus we were personally offering to anyone who brought us a buyer and our own realtor is taking $500 bucks off her commission. how could we say no to that? everyone went out of their way to get it done. it feels really good and its finally sinking in as i type this. a sense of relief that its finally over yet a little bit of sadness too. october marked 10 years that this has been home to ham and i. look how far we've come.

the buyer is currently in an apartment and her lease must not be up till march so we're not closing till february 12th. that gives us some time to find a new place. i also got the numbers back today from our potential builder and it looks do-able. our realtor went through 63 houses and sent me 29 of what she thought we would like. i went through the list today and found 4 with 6 others on standby. i'm thinking though if one of these 4 do not work out then we will start building which means we will have to find a place for a few months to habitat. and i'm freak'n ok with it. we finally sold our house!! we FINALLY SOLD OUR HOUSE!!
