It's August! We close on the new house on the 31st and it's feeling closer now that it's the end of this month. We will get possesion on September 8, and our current plan is to get in there and do a couple of things (painting, new bathroom flooring, etc.) and then do the big move one of the last weekends of September.
We are still working on selling our current home. The showings have been pretty steady, although nothing has come out of them yet. The last couple of people through were tire kickers (car sales speak for people who are just looking, but not really serious) which is annoying since I spend hours cleaning my house before each showing. On the positive side, our house has been cleaner these past few weeks than it ever has :). We have another showing on Thursday and these people seem like pretty good prospects. They have no house to sell and they are ready to buy. Rumor has it, they had another house picked out, but the seller backed out and the deal fell through.
Keep sending those prayers our way! We know our house will sell eventually, and if there's some overlap it will actually make the move/renovations less stressful because we can do them more gradually and not be rushed. The downside, of course, is owning two homes at once :).
ugh! tire kickers! I've never heard that phrase before, but I know exactly what you mean, with all the cleaning. hopefully this next couple will be the lucky winners!...
