Congratulations Vicki and Ira! Excellent news.

It was very nice meeting you at the rally and hope to see ya down the road :)

That is great news! It probably worked to your advantage by missing the call and not getting back to the low ball offer people until the next day.

They had time to think about the house and their offer and had time to realize that they really wanted the house and should be willing to pay more than they offered.

Best wishes for a smooth transaction.

Congrats. :)

Thanks everyone. We are so excited. We still have to get through inspections but we don't anticipate any problems there. I am still pinching myself to make sure I am not dreaming.

Congrats! Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes smoothly through closing!

congrats... we are still trying to sell ours...

Excellent!

We just sold our house as well today, and now we move one more step closer to traveling full time. I didn't think it would ever sell, told a nice loss on this house, but it sold.....who would have thought that owning a house would be worse then owning a car... My wife an I will never own another house..

Yes we can write it off on our taxes, but it's hard to stomach what a waste of money owning a home turned out to be. If you look at how much money you put into it over the years, it really hard to take and it turns out that owning a home is a loss. We have a normal 4 bed 2 1/2 bath house. We had to update each bathroom twice since we owned it. Put all new appliances in it twice, carpet twice, etc, roof once, I forgot how many gallons of paint over the years. Lawn care, interest to the bank, etc, etc, etc. .. Renting a condo is the way to go for us until we it the road.. This way if something goes wrong all I have to do is pick up the phone and call the owner. A lot of my friends are so upside down on their house, that several are thinking to just throw the keys on the counter and walk away. it will be nice to be able to move down the road not having to worry about the mail and the lawn and the new papers laying outside...

Yea!!!!!

I hope to be out of mine by June or July and into a 5th wheel.

 Congratulations on the sale.  We are lucky in that we didn't lose money but we sure didn't make what we could have a few years back.  I hear you about never owning another house.  I am feeling the same way.  I am sure this will rebound but at our age who wants to wait.

See you on the road soon.
