Just spoke to my agent and she recieved calls from 2 buyers' agents saying their clients are getting the mortgages in place and will be writing offers this week. We also have 2 showings today, and one wants a 30 day closing (so do we!) Will let you all know....
Have a great week all...

All of your peeps are the greatest......and I hereby send a huge cloud of pixie dust mojo shooting up and over the good ole US of A for all of you!!
I just got an email from my realtor. She said that she's gotten two phone calls from people who saw the sign in our yard. She thinks we may get two showings tomorrow and will let me know when she knows more.
I've been feeling a little depressed and it's nice to get some possible good news. It was starting to feel like cleaning as much as I do is a waste of time. Yeah, we had the one showing last Monday, but I expected more after dropping our price yet again. *sigh*
Honestly, I've gotten to the point where I'm tired of hoping and praying. It's been nearly 10 months now and we're still here. *sigh* (Yes, I know I sigh a lot. lol) I feel like I have very little faith left. I know a little is all we need ("as a grain of mustard seed"), but I've always been a very faithful and optimistic person. I don't know how some people can be negative all the time. I've been on the negative side for a couple weeks now and I'm sick of it. lol
Thanks for starting the new thread Crazyma! I found it!
Brookdale - wouldn't that be amazing if you had 2 offers to choose from! I was dreaming that would happen to us.
Dogmom - where in Meridian do your relatives live? We were in SE Meridian. We really liked it there.
Janetvj - welcome to the group.
Niki - try not to get too down. I know how it is...Our house closed 2 days before it would have been the 1 year anniversary from when we listed it. These are just tough times but it will happen.
I had to keep telling myself while I was going through the awful process of selling our house, that there was a reason that we didn't sell for so long. Not sure what it was but I am a true believer that things happen for a reason.
Sorry have not been around much girlies but have had my best friend here from home (UK) so we have been non-stop shopping girlie nights out. Will need a 2 weeks rest when she has gone !!!
Have had a busy summer eldest graduated OTC for the Army and is now in Virginia and will be there for the next 3 years. But has still not yet had all his junk removed !!! waiting for Army to come and collect it - sure my house will breathe a sigh of relief. Youngest went off to College, have had various visitors and also threats of the dreaded hurricanes - which we left Florida to escape.
We took our house off the market a few weeks ago but are going to be putting it back on in the next couple of weeks.
Then we will just wait patiently - if possible !!! and see what happens.
I am looking forward to sitting and reading all your posts next week - will need cheering up then.
Crazyma-That cloud might be enough to do the trick!
Niki-I don't even have words to say really except- sometimes you just have to SCREAM!! I understand what you mean about the negativity, it can get to you. Its like your tired of being sick and tired and waiting for those buyers knocking at your door.
Well, our saga continues...
My husband called Cartus for an update and they told us our agent still hasnt sent in the contract. He called our agent. She said, that she was waiting for the buyer's agent to send it back to us. ( IT IS LIKE 40 pages!) Its like we actually are selling the home to Cartus and they sell it to the buyer. We get our money after we get the contract.
Anyhow, he told our agent we haven't heard anything about the inspection. She said, What inspection? HELLOOOOO. Your agency called us to set it up. Well, she said the buyers were not smart, because they haven't evens signed an "official" contract to buy from Cartus. Oh good grief.
She did say though that they are Really interested and are good for the sale because they pursued the inspection so quick!
It doesn't help us however. I wont feel good until we have everything in place! The buyers' agent is out of town now. I'm like ugh!
We are just in limbo right now. I want to go ahead and get preapproved, but really we need all the money in the bank for the sale of the house. I just don't like this one bit! LOL. Does any of us like this buying/selling? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I hate being in Limbo, too. Even though we eventually sold, after 10 months, we are still in limbo-land. Not permanently settled. My cousin stopped by for a while today and wanted to know what we were doing for Thanksgiving!? Crap, I dont even know where I'll be. I am assuming I'll be here, but who knows. Don't even get me started on Christmas..would love to spend with the boys and Lainie (the younger one's fiancee) but not sure if we can get down to Sacramento, and not sure if they can get here. Oh my.
And I am assuming another year with NO christmas tree. This sucks.
Well, now I am going to think of some good things to think about..maybe I am just tired.
Hi everyone! I'm new here, I've been lurking but just hadn't posted yet! We listed our house last Thursday and had our first showing on Sunday. It's amazing how quickly you forget how much selling a house SUCKS!!!! Especially in a market like this. I have no idea what to expect, we are priced right, have a nice clean home and well manicured lawn, but we also have 3 foreclosures one street over. I am sooo frustrated by those damn foreclosures. How much competition are they? Hopefully not much, I hear they are harder to get a hold of nowadays. I'm sure I will be around needing support over next few months (praying that's all it takes!)
