Well, everything is definitely NOT ready, but it’s ready enough. Our house has been on the market now not quite 48 hours.
We finally got the house listed in MLS Saturday 6/21 (MLS #992443) and I saw that it was in Realtor.com just a few minutes ago, though not with all of the pictures and Virtual Tour in – yet (should be fully featured in the next day or so.)
A few punch list items – a very few – and then it’s in St. Joseph’s capable hands (yeah – he’s buried in the backyard and we’re on day three of the Novenas).
The house was shown a couple of times Sunday, is scheduled to be shown later today, and is also scheduled to be shown tomorrow. I definitely realize that we are in a marathon and not a sprint with regard to getting this thing under contract, but I am very heartened by the response – so far – of the local market.
Nashville has been very fortunate, in that it never was part of the go-go housing boom of this past decade and as a result prices have still appreciated rather than going backwards.
As is the case with almost every house that I have lived in, the only time I have everything the way that I like it is just before we sell it. C’est la vie.
My powers of compartmentalization are always pushed to their limits when we sell one house and move to another – particularly when moving long distances (this will be my third long distance move in the last six years).
But I am oh so eager to be back among my friends in Central Florida – and getting ready for the upcoming school year.
