See, that’s what normally drives me. Just hit the easy button.


I got stuck on what a low price we set. Our real estate agent thought it was fine, but the city of St. Louis has our square footage way off. I’m remeasuring right now, but I think the city failed to update the records when we built the addition to this house. We did everything with permits and inspections, so the city certainly has the opportunity to change square footage.


But then as I’m telling him, and telling myself, it does not really matter. The money doesn’t matter. What kind of bites me a little bit is that we’re working harder and faster than we normally would to get out of this house to meet the buyers’ possession date. That’s the one sticking point, otherwise our buyers are reasonable. They’re already traveling around the neighborhood talking about “their” house and I am up for that. It will be their house and I like them And I’m glad they are excited by this property, even though they’re going to abandon my house to build a new one next-door!
