Kelly had an agent bring a woman over to see the house yesterday. They spent well over an hour looking the house over! Did the crawlspace, the workshop. The whole bit. The woman asked right off the bat if there had been lots of interest. And when she saw Kelly again, she said she was taking so long because she was figuring out where to put her furniture!
Later, we went to see a house we’ve been interested in. Until today, we didn’t know it was already under contract with another buyer. Still, we spent some good time walking around and checking it out. Hallie seemed to love climbing up and down the stairs. Its a shame that we’ll probably not get a shot at buying it, though.
I’m thinking there will probably be a gap between when we sell our home and when we buy our new one. Kelly and I are kicking around what we might do if this happens. Hopefully, it won’t be an issue, but if it is, I suppose we’ll be living in an apartment for a time.
It’s tough having so many things open-ended, but we’ve got to be flexible in the near future.
When my wife and I bought our house, the seller wasn’t quite ready to move into their next house yet. We did a leaseback deal, and they paid my mortgage for a month while they straightened out the last details on their end.
