I’m not sure how many house selling posts I’ve done but too many and hardly any good ones. Our house selling drama nightmare continues. Here’s the latest. After our contingent contract terminated at the end of June our realtor unlisted our house (taking it off) so she could re-enlist it and it would show up as a new listing. We got into the groove again of cleaning/straightening. One night my parents kept Gracie for me and I went and got big tubs and filled up most of her toys and put them away. It’s so much easier when it’s all out of sight for her! I left her main baby stuff and a few odd and ends but almost everything else is packed away.
As soon as our house got re-enlisted again (July 3rdish) we started having showings nearly every day. We remained hopeful that something good would come along. It turns out, it did. We had a 2nd showing and got an offer Monday afternoon. It was a low ball offer but we thought we could work with them and come 1/2 way. Not what we really wanted but it did mean that we’d be moving out in a month then we could go buy our house. We were excited. Too excited I guess. Just when we thought things were going to be good and we planned on going to see a house we liked a 2nd time it all got ripped out from under us.
The buyer decided he didn’t want a 1 story house anymore. Just like that, it’s over and we’re devastated. People that have never been through something like this just have no idea. They see we have a nice house and keep saying “It will sell.” and hopefully it will but this has been the hardest, most emotional, heart wrenching 8 months of our lives. You just have no idea. We just feel like we are bad luck and nothing good is going to happen from this. I’m trying not to be Debbie Downer but too many bad things have happened and we can’t get rid of this black cloud over us. We keep getting tested and we’re tired of it. I just keep trying to say over and over “good things come to those that wait”. At least I hope it does.
So now we wait some more hoping, hoping, hoping someone- ANYONE will come around and actually like our house and be excited to move in like we were. Poor Gracie keeps asking “When are we going to move into our new house?” She’s ready to move too! Hopefully someday
