Iris, good luck! Any clue on how much time you’ll have before closing?

They want a closing date of
july 7. They say their rent shoots up tons if they have to go month-to-month after July. So we are scurrying around here moving stuff.

Sounds like they will be accepting of a lot of leftover stuff to get you out.

You have over a month, so you should be fine. Once you make your decision as to the closing date, you really go into disposal/moving/storage if necessary mode. You have two places to take the stuff, and know what you need in both of them.

They have, from the beginning, emphasized how unconcerned they are about the state of the house when we leave. They have,jokingly, offered to hire movers to get us out. They were pretty unconcerned with price and just yesterday offered up another $4,000 to cover our capital gains tax that will result from the way they want to structure the sale.

DH completed fixing the bedroom ceiling that had holes from years of rain leak. That was horrific and needed to be fixed. The only other thing I’m concerned about is the back porch that is sinking and needs to be rebuilt, but if it passes inspection so that we can deliver an occupancy permit, I’m not going to worry about it.

these buyers are getting a screaming deal. Within the past week since we set the price three houses immediately surrounding us including the one right next-door went on the market for a whole hell of a lot more than our house, and they are all smaller structures, some by quite a bit, some have no garage or attached lot.
