For Sale May 19, 2010

Yesterday was our first full time day in the apartment. It sucked. I was ready to throw in the towel.

Today was a little better. I didn’t have to go back to the house three separate times to get things I had forgotten. The cat didn’t spend the entire day hiding behind the dryer. No cats pooped on the carpet in protest. No one spilled the entire contents of a water filter pitcher all over the wood floor in the kitchen (that would have been Adam.) No one took two freaking hours to fall asleep for nap (today was within normal limits.) So yeah, better.

Our house was listed today. We’ve got the sign up to make it official and everything. It’s nice to have it actually on the market now. Our pictures turned out really well (see?), and I am hoping so much that my hard work shows through, because I am exhausted!

This back and forth stuff sucks, but it is a luxury we have. Given the market in our neighborhood right now, we have to take every advantage we can get, and keeping our house looking perfect is one of them. It’s a pain in the ass to have to wake up early to make sure every bed is made, every blind is open, every towel is hung just so, every surface is spotless, but I’m hoping it will be worth it.

So now we do two things: keep our fingers fingers crossed that our house sells quickly and try really hard to find a new place to live. I’m not sure which is harder, but I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

You have such a lovely home! You all are going through so much extra trouble to keep it nice I hope it pays off quickly.

That house is BEAUTIFUL! I can’t imagine it to not sell quickly.
Good luck! Sounds like you’ve put so much time and energy into this project. I wish you very little stress and a quick sell!

Good luck on the sale. I’ve always moved out of the houses that we’ve had on the market. I had a big, furry dog both times, and I just couldn’t see it working.
