You remember the saying "when my ship comes in" well I think they all sank. If I could figure out away to stay put for a couple of years I would consider it at this point but it may very well get worse.
That is what I am afraid of, it may get worse and I am not getting any younger lol!!! We want to move so we can enjoy being there before we are to old to get around. You are right the ship not only sank but there is no one to rescue us from this mess, the government is to busy rescuing Wall Street, the banks, and auto makers, they don't care about the people who are hurting as much if not more!!! I will get off my soapbox now lol!!!

Hey there every one! It is BRUTALLY cold outside brrrrr... Just want to send some good vibes out today. These are extremely difficult times for everyone, regardless of what the individual situations may be BUT my favorite saying is 'it's hard to see the rainbow through the storm, but it can't rain forever'. I keep telling myself 'this too shall pass...'

Yes let's hope with the low interest rates and first time buyers credit, it brings some serious buyers out!!!!!! Good luck to everyone!!!!

It seems like such a waiting game now and I was told by that preview agent she thinks it's a credit problem for many in her opinion. Boo, we're getting hit with that problem from both sides Loose restrictions helped create it, and tightening it up means less qualified buyers.

Hold your head up high gals! Everything happens for a reason and we will sell when we are supposed to sell. There is a plan or all of us and we just need to let it happen.

That is what I am trying to tell myself over and over, anyway.

Got a call from my agent she said the people who are putting in the offer next week defiantely put our house on the top of the list. So cross your fingers it all works out! If not, it was not meant to be.

It sounds like things are picking up a little for some of you and you are seeing some activity on the home front !!! Lets all pray this is a better year for us all.
We actually have a showing on Saturday but I already have been informed by our Realtor that the guy is looking for some real bargains in this market so needless to say we are not expecting much from it!!! I have come to the place in this mess that it will happen when it happens and I am tired of worrying about it. I just put it in God's hands and told him I have stressed enough over it!!
TC and GB my friends!!!

And to Lorriem who said she has to walk the pups at midnight in the cold to find the right spot.,......that's why I'm soooo happy I bought a house! I still give them walks, but on nights like tonight, not mandatory! Get in the back yard, do your business, and lets get back under the covers!!!

Cindy we do have a house with a big fence and a smaller area fenced in also for the dogs. The other three just go out and get it over with but with a almost 5 month old puppy I have to go out with her to make sure she goes and then make a great big I love you deal about it. The other three are snug in our bed since they go to bed an hour before I do with hubby.CRAZY Camp #3: for Sellers, Buyers, Agents & Friendly Folks-read post 1-dogs-dog-area-004.jpg

Gold Judy and Texa girl are the go to girls for learning how to do the pics. Believe me the grief I caused both of them since my putter and me just couldn't get the hang of it. Finally texas found out why. It is really easy ( i can say that now).lol

Our realtor is pressuring and Mr. L is aggravated. She called yeterday about having to know if we were re-listing as she had to get advertising in for the RE quarterly magazine. We were thinking of waiting to re-list after we get back from NJ but also hate to ake that chance of maybe missing a buyer-yet with the wedding,etc don't want the hassle of moving. I wonder why I have a headache.

Lacy if the house is not on the market you might be missing a seller and when you are away you won't even have to clean the house. It only takes that one person looking to become your buyer. I know it is a headache and I don't blame you for not wanting to move until after the wedding but you could put that into your contract right?. You have nothing to lose by keeping it on the market. Just my opinion. I want you to sell.

I would have to agree with you. I would keep it on the market and enjoy the fact that you can clean it once and possible have several people come though. You just never know.

This market is really picking up around here - I just got another showing tomorrow. That is 5 in one week. So Lacey, that means your area should be picking up really soon too. I would keep it on and see what happens. The worst case scenario is that nobody comes and you get to come home to a nice and clean home.
