We had some disappointing news from our realtor yesterday. She thinks that our house is over-priced for the market. She suggested a price reduction of from $30,000 to $50,000. This is not good news, although hardly surprising. We haven’t had anyone look at the house since August.
Now our original plan had been to take the house off of the market when winter arrives – since we can’t show off the yard in the winter – and the yard (we reckon) would be a big part of the charm of our house.
With the news that we should drop the price, we have decided to pull the house off the market early. After all, we need to be able to get enough money out of the house in order to make a sizable down payment on our boat. We’ll test the waters again in the spring.
Sigh!
Don’t give up on us completely though – wouldn’t you know it, I received a call from the realtor this morning. Someone is coming in to look at our house today. If they only knew how much are hopes are pinned on them 🙂
Also, you can be happy for us because now, we can leave our socks lying crumpled up in a ball on the floor if we so choose. We’re not likely to do that, but it feels good to have the option.
Happy sailing!
