Going Once, Going Twice, Sold!

It appears that we have now officially sold our house! After being on the market for 2 years and having 2 contracts fall through two days before closing, one buyer back out 1 hour before the option period expired, one buyer withdraw the contract just as we had agreed upon a great price, and a plethora of "close-call offers", we are a little hesitant about getting too excited. However, we feel really good about this contract: the buyer is an investment company, they are paying cash, and they put up a sizeable amount of earnest money.

In the meantime, we are moving forward. We took our floor plan sketch to a designer who is drawing up the "real" plans. Friday we are meeting with a guy who will be clearing our property, pouring the driveways and installing the septic system.

I've heard it said that "good things come to those who wait" so Carl and I should have some extraordinary things come to us!
