I seriously cannot believe I'm typing this...but after only 5 weeks on the market we got a full price offer on our house. A full price offer. It's crazy! Before we signed, our agent called around and made certain our buyer is "strong" and was assured she is....so we signed on the dotted line last night.
It was funny cuz last night our agent had rented out a local theater for a private showing of Prince Caspian. We had already RSVP'd to go with my sister's 3 oldest kids. Our offer came in at 3:30 and we were meeting at the theater at 5:30 anyway..so our realtor brought all of our paperwork to the theater to be signed. :) So we sold our house, technically, at the movie theater. :)
Now we're in a bit of a crunch to find a new house! My parents have graciously agreed to let us bunk with them a few weeks in case we can't find a good house right away...so at least we have a back-up plan! We went out looking today and I was kinda disappointed in what I saw -but it was just the first day and since we had Elizabeth with us we could only see 4 houses (she needed to nap!). We want to buy the "right" house this time around..not one that just meets our needs for the moment..but one we can grow into, so we're going to be more picky.
June is going to be SO busy now! The kids have swim lessons every weekday, we have company coming next week, and now I'm gonna be packing up AND trying to find a new house. :) At least it will make the time go by quickly. :)

I found your blog through...well, come to think of it, I don't remember how I found it! But I'm enjoying it, and I look forward to going back and reading on your other blogs to discover how you got where you are today! :)
That is so wonderful about your house selling!!! One of my brothers and his wife are trying to sell a home in Pennsylvania now, so through them, I'm feeling the moving/house-selling anxiety second-hand. I'm so glad you were blessed in this way!
Wow, how awesome!! Now you know I've moved a LOT. We chose our last 5 houses on the internet before we ever even went to look. We did look but each time ended up with the house we chose on line. So, that's a good option for you since you are limited on time. Go to realtor.com and every house should be in there.

okay, okay, so you are leaving me. The first thing I should say is congrats, but my selfish self is thinking of you guys not being right next door!
:(
Really though, that is awesome. I know looking for a house in a rush is stressful, but just think that half the stress of the whole situation is out of the way!
Good luck!
Oh my goodness - you've been busy!!!! So glad it sold so quickly for y'all. I pray you find the right house soon!
That's awesome! Happy house hunting...I've heard it's a buyers market out there.
Oh my goodness! How exciting!! I'll be praying that the Lord leads you to the perfect house for you!!
Blessings,
Jenn
