Home sold.

[Rob]

Listed our house yesterday at 8am and by 2pm we had a full price offer with no contingency. I knew it would move fast but that was amazingly fast. The buyers said they would even allow us to choose the closing date since their agent was aware our new home being built was still a few weeks from being done. Now we don’t have to worry about the homeless part of moving.

God is great!

Oh man, that is a beautiful house. I love those stairs going up to the blue stool bar.

Congrats on the sale!

Looking forward to pics of the new domicile.

Mighty fine crop of rock already growing the backyard. Do you think you could get two crops a year?

That’s Wilson county, nothing but rock out here. The good thing is they will dump a lot of dirt and sod the place once they are done. I just don’t look forward to trying to plant any trees, ain’t no one digging holes through that rock.

Congratulations on your easy sale. Nice houses, both current & future.

When you got your full price offer so quickly, did it make you think that you should have listed it higher? We sold our house last year, & moved to a different one. When we listed the old one, the agent suggested a price, but we pushed for $10K more, based on what we were seeing in our area. We had 2 full price offers in 1-2 days, and another for $10K over the listing price a day later. So we ended up with $20K more than what the agent originally suggested. Made me think we should have asked for even more.

No. I asked for what I know the going valued are in my area. When the offer came in at full price and they said they will work with me on the closing date, that was the kicker for me. It is not about the money to me, just that I can go from this place to the next was a huge win in my book.

That's a good feeling when things fall into place as you would like to have it. All the best on the new place.

When I moved into my current house, things fell into place that way. It didn't sell as fast as yours, but that was good since current house wasn't completed. Closed on both the same day with the same lawyer.

The Wise Man Built His House

The wise man built his house upon the rock
The wise man built his house upon the rock
The wise man built his house upon the rock
And the rain came tumbling down


Oh, the rain came down
And the floods came up
The rain came down
And the floods came up
The rain came down
And the floods came up
And the wise man's house stood firm.


The foolish man built his house upon the sand
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
The foolish man built his house upon the sand
And the rain came tumbling down


Oh, the rain came down
And the floods came up
The rain came down
And the floods came up
The rain came down
And the floods came up
And the foolish man's house went "splat!" [clap hands once]


So, build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ
Build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ
Build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ
And the blessings will come down


Oh, the blessings come down
As your prayers go up
The blessings come down
As your prayers go up
The blessings come down
As your prayer go up
So build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Since both houses are in Wilson County, what does this do to your transit time to/from work?

Moving 3 miles. No big changes.

I've only sold two houses in my life, they both sold on day one before a for sale sign was even posted. Houses sell when you ask the proper price for them.

My brother has had his house on the market for about three years and had one person look at it. It could have something to do with the fact that he is asking about 50% more than what it is really worth.

Congrats on the sale, Dixie.

I like the lawn at the old place better. Just kidding, nice new home. Although the old one does look pretty nice!

Just showed the listing to Laurie. She asked which stairs I broke my arm on. So, I called up Google Maps, and my Z06 is still in your driveway.

BTW, I like the colors you painted since I was there last.

I forgot all about the arm. Thanks on the colors, we have done a lot of work the past couple years. I can't wait to get in and start working on the new place once we are moved into there
