If it seems too good to be true, it probably is! And I guess that is just a fact of life. We sold our home and then we didn't. When we signed the contract to sell it, it just seemed too good to be true. Two days on the market, full price and a short escrow. Oh, well, time to start over.
Our real estate agent called this morning with the bad news. The deal just fell through. Our empty, messy home is back on the market and our dream is on hold. To tell the truth, I am rather pissed. Actually, right now - I am very pissed! I think I will feel better about it all tomorrow but right now....not too cool.
This happens all the time to people, I know that. But I also know that next time, I will not have the highs that I had when this deal 'came together'. I was dancing around the house, squealing and laughing...it was too good to be true.
We have a hold on the listing for 2 weeks while we finish moving out and getting it cleaned up. It won't sell as well with the furniture and pretty things gone. I actually spent money on things to help stage the house to sell it. Those things are gone. That sucks!
Please send us good vibes. I need some not just to sell the house but to ease my mind and my soul. I am so ready to retire and begin our next adventure.
Oh that's too bad. Do they have to pay a fee for backing out on the deal?
ReplyDeleteSuzie, I am so sorry that you have to go through this, but I firmly believe that it will work itself out for you so you two can realize your dreams. I've been told that a house devoid of personal items with sparse amounts of furniture is better for showings. Gotta believe that. Despite the turmoil I hope that you have a blessed Thanksgiving Day. Thinking about you!!
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat it. Personally I don't like looking at houses with anything in them. I can't even picture my own stuff in a room if there is anything else in the room. It's all for the best.
