Take 2

Well, we've sold our house...again, but for real this time!  I still don't think I'll believe it until we're actually moving out, but so far so good.  We had 3 second showings in one week.  One couple asked 1,001 questions, one couple initially hated our house.  Ours was one of the first ones they looked at and apparently had never been in a Lakewood home before.  They gave some not so friendly feedback.  A month later, they were comparing every house they saw to ours and wanted to see it again.  The third couple squeaked in and made an offer.  We wheeled and dealed and accepted the offer last Thursday.  We only told 2 people. We've been nervous especially after the last offer fell through.  We wanted to wait and see how the inspection went. They were here Tuesday afternoon.  They completely ruined nap time, but it was worth 1 day of interrupted sleep.  They got the report Wednesday and the radon results this morning.  We didn't realize they didn't have them right away and have been going crazy wondering what they were waiting for. We have a couple things to fix, but honestly the list is so minor I'm shocked! We also have the appraisal on Monday.  I'm trying not to worry about that, but the market is just starting to recover and apparently its still messing with housing prices.  We're just going to have to trust God and our realtor on this one!
It looks like we've passed the huge hurdle of selling the house.  Now comes the fun part.  The buyers are in an apartment and the lease is up April 1st.  That means we need to be out at the end of March.  Where we're going is the big question.  We're going to check out a couple houses at some point.  I told our realtor I didn't want to look at anything until this was a done deal.  None of the houses scream dream house from the pictures, but they're nice so we'll take a look and hope they wow us in person. Otherwise, things might get interesting around here!
