**wink wink Jilly**
The house SOLD!!!
In ONE day!!!
Yahooooo!!!
Yippeeee!!!
Holy Shit!!!
So instead for typing out the whole story, again. I'm going to cheat and copy/paste a message from one of my Facebook comments. (Isn't Facebook kinda of crack-ish? I like it. I like it alot!)
"I feel like the sell is bitter sweet.
The couple we really wanted to buy the house were 23 and 25, just married, wanted to start a family. They looked at the house twice and drove by 3-4 times...totally reminded me of Kip and I when we were just starting out. Imagine paying close to 300,000 for your *1st* house!!!
The other couple were Real Estate agents from Leduc looking to buy a house for their university bound son. So it ended up being a bidding war and the 2nd couple offered $2,000 OVER asking price, no conditions, $10,000 deposit. Ideal offer!!! The cute couple had a decent offer too...900 below asking but with a home inspection that allowed them to walk away if there was over$1500 in damages.
So the strange thing was that the agents presented the offer. The first guy came in, the other guy waited outside...next guy comes in...we discuss, our agent goes outside to tell them our decision. Weird huh? I guess that is normal when there is multiple offers but still Kip and I were feeling kinda celeb-ish.
IF we'd had the time to think we would have worked with the cute couples offer but, the Real Estate couple knew what they were doing and definitely got our attention. So my regret isn't that we didn't pick the best offer (we did) but that I know that the cute couple would have appreciated all the $ and hard work we put into our place...kept the nursery, loved the gardens etc etc. This university dude is going to have parties, paint over the murals in Katie's bedroom and turn her cute nursery into the university sex lair..booooo!
After the deal closed this hot, red car drives up to the house with a bunch of young boys in it... pointing, woot wooting, high fives. Obviously this is the guy who will be moving in.
OMG...our neighbors are going to KILL us!!!!
So, ya. I feel YAY and BOO at the same time...does that even make an bit of sense?"
Okay...that is gist of the story. We move out August 17 and straight into my parents basement suite...eeeeek...and hopefully little blue will be done by end of September. Hopefully.
Humph, I going miss our little house.
