House sale, please keep fingers crossed

May 04, 2007 7 Replies

We just accepted a conditional offer on our house today, so I'm hoping that the new place will have room for my hobbies! I must say that I am rather stressed about the whole move idea as we have put in 3 different offers in the last couple of months and they have all fallen apart. If all goes well with this offer on our house, we have roughly 10 weeks to find a place and move. The market is really hot here and there is very little for sale and next to nothing for rent. We REALLY need more space and although I tried to convince DH that we could add on here we would both really prefer to live on an acreage. So keep your fingers crossed that we find something soon.

Fingers crossed, and toes too if that will help!

Good luck!!!

Okay, fingers crossed. Good luck, Marilyn!

Having gone thru this last fall, I can feel your stress! Being a forever-pessimist in real estate (having been an agent for years and seeing everything that could go wrong), I was totally shocked when we had a contract on the old house on the first day on the market and it actually closed on time! Dreams do come true!

Finger and toes crossed here too! My neighbor across the street sold her house in a day and the people who bought her house sold theirs in a day! Tempts me to put mine on the market! But that would backfire.....You can always tell when the real estate market is going down......there is a sign in my front yard. And where would we go? Any profits on this house would be sunk into another one. And I'd have to move all my STUFF! UGH! I guess I'll just stay put for now.

We recently moved house and I remember only too well how stressful it can be. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for you. Morag

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Gen
