Rockford is off the market

We took the house off the market on Tuesday.  There has been no interest recently and there's no point keeping it on the market right now.  We are also getting into the Winter months where we really don't want to move.  The funniest thing is that we have been inundated with phone calls and letters from agents wanting us to list with them!!!  Sam got 4 or 5 calls on Wednesday and he just told them "find us a buyer and call Sarah".  I guess we will get the holidays out of the way and then think about what we want to do next year...

Last open house

We had an Open House yesterday, probably the last one before we take the house off the market on the 15th.  Lynne (one of our agents) was there and I talked to her at the end of it.  There were two sets of people that came through the house, one of them needed a bathroom on the ground floor and the other was looking for their daughter.  I doubt either are really interested.  Lynne said that most people are put off by Tom and Cheryl's house next door.  Even though we have curtains up at the windows on the side, it's not enough to get people to get past it.  There is absolutely nothing we can do about it, even putting a fence up would not help.  It might stop the dog barking though.  Maybe we will have better luck in the Spring.
