This House Stuff Makes My Head Hurt June 2, 2010
So, we’re facing two problems with this house stuff. The first is that there is more supply than demand in our neighborhood. The second is that there is more demand than supply where we want to move. You can see where this could be a problem. We haven’t had any offers on our house nor have we found a new place.
We’ve had two showings in the two weeks our house has been on the market. One turned out to be a lookie loo, and while the other said our house showed well, they decided not to buy in our neighborhood after all.
We do have a showing this evening. It’s a serious buyer, so at least that’s good. I can’t help but get my hopes up, but there’s no telling if they’re going to decide that our house is better than any other of the many homes on the market right now.
I have looked at many rental homes, and so far nothing has passed muster. Either they’ve been outdated and run down or nice but back up to massive power lines or bars. We’re looking at another one this afternoon, so I’m hoping for something better suited for us.
I knew this process wouldn’t be fast or easy, and that has proven to be true. I’m going crazy with the back and forth of our current living situation, so hopefully something good will come our way soon. Let’s hope so!

I think we’ve had about 100 groups through our house in the past 2.5 months and I’d say maybe 1 in 10 is actually in a position to buy. Try not to pin your hopes on any individual showing is my advice. You have to somehow find your zen place. It is a bit reminiscent to me of trying to get pregnant. Your hopes govup and down, you can’t plan anything, you can’t envision your future… Not as emotionally chraged, of course, but somewhere in btwn trying to get pregnant and trying to get off the business school wait list v
There is nothing worse in life than the process of selling a house (and no I’m not being overly dramatic…hah). But seriously, it’s beyond stressful. We got very lucky when we sold our house in March, the 3rd person who came through bought it. I know that’s probably very annoying but it just goes to show you never know. I thought we’d have a lot of trouble selling ours. Hang in there and fingers crossed for you!
