House Sale Update
Well, our house has been on the market for a week and there has been next to no interest in it so far. Sarah texted me yesterday and asked if we wanted to do an Open House on Sunday. She's also going to do an Agent Open House next Tuesday. She is concerned about the lack of interest, but says it appears to be a general thing at the moment. we know that sales slow down after Spring, but I would still have expected more.....

Open House 6/17/2013
Father's Day and raining-not a good sign. Still, we had 4 sets of people through the house. Only 2 signed in, so I'm sure the others were neighbors!! I am surprised at how little interest we have had so far, but it's been less than a week, so I won't worry yet!!!

Found this today!!!
Found this today!!!
Things have been slow going. Two people came round on Wednesday night and nothing since.
Jason went over numbers with Sam yesterday. The Fairview house is out, would take way too much money to fix it up. That may be the same with Clark, we'll have to wait and see. We may be staying where we are after all.....
Open House 6/11/2013
We had an agent open house on Tuesday. Sarah said it went well, plenty of agents and three potential buyers. It took for ever to get everything exactly how we wanted it, but it looked great when it was done.

The Miss Havisham house
Jason threw a new player into the mix this week. He found a house very close to him that wasn't even on the market. He made them an offer before he saw the inside of the house and it was refused. Now it is on the market for a week to see what the level on interest is. It was owned by an old lady who recently broke her hip and is now in a nursing home. Great Expectations immediately came to mind, it reminded me of Miss Havisham locked up in her home for years, it even had the lace tablecloth on the dining room table.
There are no pictures on the website, but it is listed
We went to look at it with Jason. I almost cried when I went in-it's my dream home and my nightmare!!!! This could be a fabulous home, if it is fixed up right and for a reasonable amount of money. As it is, it's a daunting amount of work and a massive amount of money. I guess we'll keep our options open until we find out if Jason could even get it
This is the back of the house, they had an addition built on years ago
There is a huge amount of land, it's a very nice lot
There is so much of the house that is original, including the front door. Jason thinks it can be saved
These pictures are scary, it's scarier in real life and (as Jason says), the outside is its best feature!!!!

Getting our house ready to sell
The photographer came over to take pictures for our house listing. I had to clean up the house significantly. I have packed up all the extra stuff lying around and made it look more generic everywhere.
Sarah brought these flowers over for the middle of our table. I guess she wasn't satisfied with my peonies!!!
This was Greta's effort at cleaning up her room. Sarah didn't take any pictures of it, not surprised really!!!
Maggie's room is always pretty easy to sort out. It helps that we've just had her room painted
I'm really good at clearing out and organizing the closets!!!!
I think it looks bare everywhere-nothing at all on the mantel any more!!
Ben's bedroom was the hardest room to tidy up (we'll leave Greta's out of the picture)
