imissdow Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Put my house on the market a few weeks ago. Had a offer on it in 4 days. Got asking price and I'm thrilled with that. Really didn't expect it to go that fast. My home is far from typical for this neighborhood. It has been completely rehabbed over the 13 years I have lived here. Even so I expected it to be a few months. Got the lady who is buying my home to rent it back to me for a month so my girls can finish the school year. We are moving out of district so I will need to drive them for the last couple of weeks. Put a offer in on a different house on what's known to the locals as the west shore. Only down side is a freight train runs right thru town and basically in the back yard of the house I like. Owners are out of the country and I won't know about my offer till probably Saturday. I now have 10 weeks to pack up my house and move. Amazingly I was more stressed about buying a car that cost less then a tenth of the house I'm buying. Excited, scared, nervous and just a little overwhelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyondlife Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I love the sounds of trains at night. I have always lived where I can hear them, even as a child. The sound comforts me and makes me feel safe. Though I've never had one right behind me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trying Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Congratulations on selling the house so quickly! The packing can feel overwhelming and impossible but you will get through it. I got a huge dumpster and threw out a ton and had a flea market guy come take 2 truck fulls of stuff for Goodwill and to sell at flea market. I was downsizing so I couldn't take it all with me! Good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Congrats on the super quick sale! I live one block away from train tracks. I'm totally used to it, though some engineers can be a bit obnoxious with the horn blowing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Congratulations! I have had our house on the market for about a month and a half, with no offers but some lookers. So I am really happy it sold so quickly AND at your asking price :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
