Then buyer asked for a one day extension!! Her parents convinced her to inspect. Aargh! I was gone with inspection, but last minute!! Grr.
As I said last post - the waiting was driving me nuts!
Well they inspected 1 pm on the Thursday. I texted Brad a couple times wanting to know how it was going.
It was going. Then Brad called me and put the buyers dad on to ask about my ceiling patches. Ugh. I had to explain that I'd goofed twice and caused the problems, then (after getting pros in to fix them) been too cheap to hire pro to fix holes n repaint. How embarrassing.
So after the inspection we heard nothing. ... & nothing ...
Finally we went to work. They had until midnite, but we figured that if we didn't hear by supper then the answer was no. We gave up hope. I even tempted fate and texted EVERYONE that we did not sell.
Then Brad texted me. "GOOD NEWS WE SOLD!!!!"
What!!?? Woooo hoooo!! No way!!
But it's true. Buyer must have won the argument with her mom.
Yes our place is old. Yes repairs eill come up. But we paid $352000 and gave it to her for $309000! Even if she has $20,000 in repairs over the next 10 yrs, (which she will not!!) - she will still be ahead.
So, long story short - we did get to buy the new (brand new!) place we wanted. Yaaaaaaay!
New home property tax, eeew!
But still so excited and happy.
We do have to be out of our place by May 30 - that's 2 weeks!! Eeek.
And new place possession not until JULY 11!!
So everything not sold is going into storage and we r moving in to Jim n Sharon's. (Clint's dad's).
Stressed. Tired. Looking forward tho. :-)
Final note: new place 1100 sq ft. Old place 1600 sq ft.
Sold both tables, all chairs, 2 sofas, 1 dresser, futon, TV stand, and more to go.
Current place color scheme is rich refs n browns. New is seaside blues, whites, n grey. Nothing we own matches.
Well that's all the excitement for now. We r just now driving to Osooyoos for May Long weekend. Clint's 50th party on Sat.
Surely gonna be more tales to relate after that. Ha ha.
