Well, almost 3 weeks back on the market and have had one family through. They said they liked it and the price was right, but there are SO MANY houses on the market right now that it is tough to choose. Same old refrain: so many houses to choose from.
It’s probably not a real busy time right now in the RE market. Plus it has been icy cold here the last couple of weeks, so maybe people are just staying home and staying warm.
We are supposed to tile our master bath, laundry room and upstairs bath, but we can’t get the tile guy to commit to a day and actually follow through. He was supposed to come last Monday, then he put it off til Friday (yesterday), but called and put it off til Monday again. If he calls Monday and tries to put it off again, then he is done. He will be told not to bother and we will get somebody else. I hate it when workmen put you off. We had cleaned out every thing and cleared off the floors and taken off the baseboards in prep, and then he is a no show. Not very professional of him. He must be cheap, because that’s what DH likes to hire. Then they do a substandard job, or they are not reliable. Wish I was in charge of the hiring. Might cost a little more, but the work would get done!
As far as the new construction on the house, it is pretty much at a standstill. DH has somebody down there today pulling wire for the electrical. We’ve decided to wait on continuing until this house is sold because we just really don’t have the money to go on right now. We did lower the price in this house and hope it will bring people in.
I sure hate just waiting around, not knowing when we can move on. It’s almost like being pregnant. You know the baby is going to come, but you just don’t know exactly when and you can’t really plan. Only in this case, I’m sure we’ll be “overdue” more than a few days or weeks.
