I am really enjoying this renting plan, more than I did the selling challenge. People coming through to look at the house are so much more complimentary about the house. I also like the fact that I don’t have to leave as people come through; in fact I get to show them around. I can [...]

Whatever!

I must be getting really burned out over all this house showing and stuff. Our RE agent called Sat. afternoon and asked if someone could come through. My response? “Whatever.” I really don’t care anymore. Yes, we had to spend a couple of hours to spiff it up, but I am getting to the point [...]
Okay, let’s try something new.

This whole house selling has really become a pain in the, well, you know where, and we don’t seem to be getting any closer to selling. We’re not even getting that many people through anymore. Soooo…..
We’ve decided to go another direction. We are going to take out a home equity loan so we can finish [...]
Nuttin’!

Well, we had the second look on Sat. Apparently the wife has already seen our house, but the hubby hadn’t, so he came on Sat. for a peek. Haven’t heard anything yet, except that they really like the house, they are sick of looking at houses and that they are living with relatives while they [...]
Where’d everybody go?

Where’d everybody go? Home tours had been pretty brisk around here up until last week. Of course, we thought we had an offer coming, so I was glad we didn’t have anybody coming through, but last Sat. was the first time we haven’t had someone come through on a Sat for about 6 weeks. Then [...]
And they’re outta here!

Well, the bad feng shui did the trick. The Cheungs are history. Apparently they decided the flowing irrigation canal behind the house was going to take away all their money and good fortune, so they have “left the building”! (Never mind that we have lived with this bad feng shui for nigh onto 11 years, [...]
They’re Ba-aack!

I predicted this. The Chinese PB who made a low-ball offer and then walked when we countered are back, less than 2 weeks after they walked. I knew it would happen because they really liked the house and I’m sure they went out and did some more looking and realized this was actually a good [...]
And another offer bites the dust!

While our company was here last week, we got a knock on the door. A Chinese couple were in the neighborhood looking for another home and waiting for their agent, but saw our house, took a flyer and then came to the door and asked if they could look through. The place was somewhat [...]
Please, no looky-loos.

Well, the tiling is done and it looks very nice. BUT still waiting on very busy DH to get the baseboards back on. The tile looks great; the rough walls where the baseboards are supposed to be-not so much.
In fact, there’s a lot of things that still need to be done here to really be [...]
Picky, Picky,Picky!

Is it just me, or are people just a lot more picky than they used to be. Maybe because it’s a real buyer’s market out there right now, but I am getting tired of people coming through my house who want us to make all kinds of cosmetic changes. For example, we had a woman [...]
