Moving Right Along

[kathygnome]

And as we move right along, we have our marching orders. We are going to "price to sell" under 200k and there's a reasonable chance we can get more than we were expecting.

But the big thing is we are going to blitz some packing and painting, try to stage the house while we're living in it, and have an open house Columbus Day weekend.

I so do NOT envy you on the blitz packing/painting/moving/staging. Oy.

I do, however, still wish you much luck and a good dose of your favorite form of sugar (I prefer chocolate milk, personally). That kind of work is best done while on a sugar/caffeine buzz.

Followed by a stiff drink.

It doesn't seem that staging here is a very big deal. This is kind of shocking to me because in DC it was everything. Walls MUST be painter's white, all traces of individuality MUST be removed, etc. etc. We kind of noticed it was different here when we looked at pictures of other homes and there were these god awful paint schemes and such that any realtor in DC would have forced the homeowner to paint over or not taken pictures.

Still have to have it very clean and we're going to be out of the house for an entire afternoon with a Nora and two cats which will be "interesting"

sounds like it may also be "character building"

lol

We're hoping the new house is sufficiently along that we can just let them all run around.
