Sounds like you're doing the right things.

Smart! I hope you get some showings -- and a buyer -- before the snow flies.

Do you have plans for your next step, after the house in under contract?

chisue We want to go warm. No more ice and long driveway, but we do need a house because we both work from home so we need at least 3 bedrooms. We like St. Augustine, but it is such an enormous change that we blow hot and cold. I'm not sure I can manage without privacy after 40 years of living deep in the woods.

Have you been to Sarasota?

I recall that you wanted to move somewhere warm. I was actually wondering if you had plans about where you'd go should a buyer pop up and want a fast closing. Do you have a 'bolt hole'? haha

We will be able to buy with cash, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a place. If we can't we will stay in a friend's apartment in her barn and put our stuff in storage until we find what we want. I hope that doesn't happen, but if someone wants a fast closing and that's a condition, they will have it.
