One step back
OK, so it feels like more. After seven months on the market - we had an offer on our house, we countered, and strong rumor had it would be accepted. But life has a way of interfering with all of us at times and the offer had to be withdrawn. It wasn’t that she/he didn’t want the house, so even in my depression, I feel for that person to have something interfere with something they wanted as well.
As for us, it wouldn’t matter if we had not already moved to Florida and were struggling to juggle rent and mortgages. But, I know we are not alone.
Ask me if I would have moved without selling the house if life had “do overs” - and I would say yes. We had to leave before the snow; we had to start the new job before the work dried up; it has been a wonderful experience - except for the market falling as we moved.
Here’s to another buyer now!
