We've had one heck of a week. This past week was gonna be the week to get back on track. Jackson was going back to pre-school after being out for over a week, Jason was home, the Labor Day Race was over and we were gonna get on a routine and get things done. Whatever those things might have been (who knows!).
Last Saturday night, Jason and I had a long talk about our housing situation. If you don't know, we have been trying to sell this place since I got pregnant in 2008. We put it on the market, offer comes through, everything falls through one week before closing. Devastated, we pulled it from the market.
A few months later, I decided it was time to try again. After 4 months and not a single viewing, we asked to be let out of our contract and pulled it from the market.
Early this year, we decided to go for it again. Third time is a charm, right?
We hired a new agent and followed the directions of their "staging expert." We thought that this was gonna be the time it sold....
Back to last Saturday...we decided that since there hadn't been a single showing this time around (nope, not one) that we should we should stay here for another 2 or 3 years. By then, we will hopefully have another kid and we'll know what our housing needs will be long term. We are comfortable here and there is NO yard work! We do have plenty of space so it sounded like a great plan.
On Sunday, we got a call at 1:30 pm from the agency wanting to show our place at 2:30 pm. We said okay and laughed that this would be the time. On Tuesday morning, we got an offer. Seriously.
After countering twice, on Friday, the whole deal fell through. Not so devastated this time but just mad that we spent so much emotional, mental, and physical time on this during our week for a result that wasn't what we wanted.
So, we are back to Saturday and we plan to pull the condo from the market on Monday. Hopefully this roller coaster will coast on even ground for at least a week before we start another series of ups and downs. :)
