Yeah. We'd love to move but between the crazy housing market and the pain in the *** of moving, we keep putting it off.
I know, trust me inertia would have kept us where we were.
Got re-married in November, and wife and I had looked at several houses in November/January before we realized we shouldn't even be looking if we don't have our own house on the market, otherwise we are just wasting everyone's time, including our own.
Got my house (pretty much a starter house, a bi-level with 3BR/2.5 bath/2 car garage) de-cluttered and on the market, showed it for 2 days, received 8 offers and took the highest one, which was $25K over asking.
Found a house we really liked the very next night and had it under contract 2 days later.
Has been a rollercoaster since. First buyer backed out, but another bidder jumped in at $20K over our asking price before the day was even done. Actually had a defect in title in my property that was never found the other several times the property was transferred, but had a title insurance policy in place that covered it.
Has been stressful, but glad we are now less than 48 hours away from closing on the new house. Just one of those things that, a couple months from now, we'll be so glad we did it, but in the moment, we're thinking, "What the hell did we just do?"
