Moving Day

Today was a good day. We officially closed escrow on the purchase of our new house and now have the home-buying process behind us.

We spent most of the day loading and unloading a U-Haul 14' truck moving our stuff from one house to another. Unfortunately the house we're moving into is not the house that we bought.

We are moving into a rental house nearby while we wait for the sellers to complete the purchase of their new house and move out of our new house. That was supposed to happen already but a last-second snag came up involving the title on the house they were purchasing and now there is a delay.

Hard to say how long the delay will be. It could be 3 weeks or it could be 3 months. We'll know soon. They are scrambling to get their move done as soon as possible because they have a 1-yr. old and another one on the way.

Lucky for us that we were able to find a rental that would give us a month-to-month lease. Hopefully we won't be there for long and then finally we'll be able to settle into our new house.

For now, we've still got some moving to do but the big stuff is taken care of. We'll be out of our old house for good this weekend.

Sold

We are no longer homeowners.

Yesterday the sale of our house closed and now we are officially renters at our house.

Fortunately, we have bought a new house and we are scheduled to close that sale in a couple of weeks. We should be all moved in by the weekend before Thanksgiving. We are lucky that we found a house we really like in the price range and area that we wanted. We also got lucky in that the house was not yet on the market and we were the first to see it.

It was just great timing that our agent got the listing for the house right when he did and knew that we would definitely be interested, which we were. Nobody else got to see the house and now we will move directly from here to there in a few weeks.
