things are looking good for the sale of our house!

We got good news. The realtors are agreeing to take a .5 commission cut (so 1% total). Which will save us a little over 1k. He's doing it because he feels bad that we are writing such a big check. Which is nice.

He's been talking to their realtor and they know that the house has some seals broken in a few windows and that the HVAC system is old. So, they are prepared to take on that cost. We left our W/D (HE). So, that is going to be a big savings to them.

Woohoo! We're going to use our W/D (HE as well) as bargaining chips. Probably the kitchen appliances too, though we intend to leave them there.

All of the appliances in the kitchen are new too (except for the stove). So, they are getting a good deal.

Awesome!

Things are finally falling in to place with our move as well. It's so relieving, even if it is small pieces of progress at a time.

You're moving? I haven't been on D&R much. Are you moving far?

Yay! Congrats that is great news!

We're moving locally, not far. I haven't posted about it much on D&R but I have been on Buying a Home for a while asking questions. We decided to list/move while rates were low. We're sort of making a lateral move as far as house size goes, but into a school district with full day K for DD, and it cuts my commute in half.

We listed in November and were finally under contract by the beginning of April. Our buyers do not speak a word of English so dealing with them on every level sucks, and our sellers think nothing of taking weeks to reply on everything. We are set to close 5/31 barring any further dramas.
