What a surprise...! Although we had someone who had been interested in the house for awhile, we didn't really expect any movement until at least spring, if then. But on Thursday we received a call that someone else wanted to see it. In a flurry, Jon arranged for his cleaning lady to give it a lick and a polish. On Saturday , Jon donned his realtor hat and showed the house. That afternoon we received an attractive offer and we accepted today. Wow.
When we first saw the house, one of the reasons we acted so quickly to purchase it was that we felt it would sell quickly if we ever wanted to do that. It has location, location, location. And it is beautifully built with many upgrades. It has always been our favorite house.
We don't have a closing date as yet but assume we will head north the end of January to pack and move.
Jon seems to think he is entitled to a 3% fee. I think we will just deduct it from what he owes us.....you know, things like orthodontia , wrecked cars, flying lessons, a protracted life at college and oh yes, let us not forget the babysitting charges....
