We have been thinking of downsizing since
January – and made the final decision to do so last Thursday.
We looked into Realtors in another county …
and considered leaving the State, but in the end we decided to stay local
because we like our Tuesday and Friday gatherings of friends to shoot the
breeze and play cards with.
Wednesday we met with a Realtor and Thursday
she listed our house: it sold Friday for the price we are asking, and we also
found a new home that we fell in love with: it is in a mobile home park, but
the Park is wonderfully maintained and landscaped and the homes are well kept …
and we’ll be able to pay the new home off 100% with what we get from the sale
of our present home – that’s what we want at this point in our lives :-D The
home we chose is a 1996 model and very spacious; and had been lovingly cared
for. We didn’t want any more grass to mow, so we traded that in for lava rock;
LOL
Thursday we put an AD in the local paper for
a Garage/Moving Sale and started cleaning things out …
We did pretty good with the Sale yesterday
while the sun was showing, but today with the dreariness that comes with
impending rain … not so good so far at 11:59 here. BUT while we are sitting
waiting for people to show up, we got a call from our Realtor telling us that we
are IN CONTRACT both with the people
who want to buy our house here … and the people we want to buy from there: GOOD NEWS!
Now the fun begins ;-)
