Goodbye House...we will miss you!

Yes...you read that title correctly. We have sold our house! Our house was on the market for 2 weeks...CRAZY!!! Now the hard part is finding the next perfect home for our family. We have a few houses in mind, but nothing we are in LOVE with.

We had the perfect buyer come along...a young, single guy who lives w/ his mom, had a preapproval already & loves fish! He doesn't have a home to sell, has money to buy & wants to keep our basement tank so we don't have to mess with that huge thing. He offered to pay our asking price, wants all the appliances except the washer/dryer & would like our barstools (Captain Morgan of course). He was also asking that we pay closing costs, buy a 1 year home warranty & keep the garage workbench too. We countered his offer with...he pays full asking price, we will pay 1/2 of closing costs, no warranty & we take the barstools....they were a birthday present to Nate from me ;-) He accepted our counter & will sign the contract tomorrow & put his earnest money down. Now we just hope the inspection goes well, the bank doesn't have any issues w/ the loan & we find a new home.

It is all soooooooo exciting, but still nerve racking knowing that things can change in a matter of minutes. We are so lucky to have sold our house so quickly w/ this terrible sellers market. We will keep you all posted on our progress on the house hunting. This next house is our FOREVER home...we want Jordan & baby #2 to have one childhood home. So many great memories will be had in this next home. It is very sad that we must move on to a new home. We LOVE our present home...so many great times had here!

Well, our closing date is November 30th...we are hoping to move that date up but we must find a house first ;-) Our buyer is very flexible in the closing date which is wonderful. We just want to take our time to get the right home & we also have to be careful of Nate's knee surgery & recovery time.

Thank you all for your continued support. Maybe the next post will be about our new home ;-)
Love xoxoxo,
The Helgerson's
