Finally have an offer and hoping nothing interferes!
Original Post:
UGH. This is the 5th house we have sold in our marriage. They have all been stressful. I hate selling/buying. Anyway, our house is on the market and has been for 6 days. That isn't a lot, but typically our neighborhood sells quickly and we honestly thought it would sell right away (typical for our neighborhood is 0-5 days, although. few have been longer.)
We put a lot into getting it ready and 3/4 of our stuff is in storage and we even hired staging furniture this time around. Between the repairs and new carpet in some upstairs areas and all told, the total was $15k to get it all ready. I had budgeted $10k so that should have been my clue to budget 50% more. Sigh. But some of that had to be done anyway, we had just been putting it off.
I just need this to SELL!
Tell me your selling stories. I need some distractions.
