selling our house...............

We finally finished yesterday cleaning the house that Laura was renting. We met with the real estate lady, Janel Brown. We listed it at the price we wanted at 169.9. We had to put time and a little money into it to get it ready for sale. So we finished that up yesterday and went over it with Janel. She listed it today and got 4 showings on this first day and one tomorrow. She called awhile ago and said she had two offers. Now that means that if they still want the house they have to bid on it and we will take the highest bid over our asking price. Listed January 1st.

Now we will be meeting with Janel on Wednesday (Jan3) at noon and see where we are at. It would be awesome if we got it sold that quickly, first day out.
When she comes over I will ask what she thinks about this house (our own home). If we can sell it without doing all the updates that would be awesome. We would have to think about it though. Do we really want to sell it? What would the advantages be. Well a smaller home and possibly no or a very small mortgage, that would make our life a lot easier. Tristen does not want us to sell it. It has been a family home for so long, but we have to think of us now. It is too big. A lot of work, especially the garden. On the other side it is so close to everything, within walking distance almost at least to get to a store. The doctors, hospital and all of that.
I would like to be out in the country on a few acres. How realistic is that?
We have so much STUFF we would have to get a storage unit to store it all until we could sell our things but it has to happen some day so we should consider it.I would not mind building a house up on the subdivision that this house we are selling is on. Gerry does not want to build.
He wants to find one to fix up, that would be fine except how quickly could he get it done, I really do not want to live in a mess. So we will pray, check our options and pray about it.

Well the meeting went well and we accepted the first offer. If all goes well we will close at the end of February.
Jan 15 Monday.
So, I am picking this up later. The inspector came today and all went very well with that. The new people have plans for the house and anxious to get in. Here are some pictures.

This has been my baby getting this all turned around and attractive. If all goes well we should be done by mid February. As always, the Lord is in control and we will trust in Him and all will work out for the best.
