The Adventure Begins

The house went on the market last night. ULP! I guess I'm really going to do this! I've signed on the dotted line. People came out and dug a big hole and planted a big-ass sign in my front yard. And, lo! Someone has already called about seeing the place. But, he seemed sort of confused. I somehow doubt he will actually show up. Not an auspicious beginning, but any time you subject yourself to the general public, you have to be prepared for the weirdos.

I think we've priced the house on the low side of the market. I'll get enough money out of it to do what I need to do, if I get my asking price. And I think I will. But, when? The house across the street sold in less than 2 weeks. There have been some on this street that are approaching their third month on the market. But, they are waaaay overpriced, IMHO. I will get antsy if this drags on more than a month. Interest rates are creeping up. Don't people realize it's now or never? Especially in THIS market. It's obscene. I kinda feel bad, contributing to the rape and pillaging of the local house-hunter....but not bad enough to cut someone a fantastic deal.

I had to laugh when I read the listing this morning. "Mrs. Clean lives here." No shit. Mrs. Clean. If my family reads that, someone will bust a gut, for sure. But, apparently, I'm playing the game correctly. I've got 'em fooled.
