Another Open House come and gone. Our realtor warned us that July is usually a bad month for open houses. I assume because people are vacationing or doing yard work. Even so, having said that, she said 7 couples came through today and two were very interested. The kicker is, they have homes to sell, too and one hasn't even put their house up for sale yet! The other one lives in Indiana but her son lives down the road from here. Humph! sounds like the old Sam the Sham (and the Pharoahs) song: "Oh, That's Good...No, That's Bad". Only those in my age bracket (39 years old!) will recognize the song and even then, I don't know how many would have heard it. Sorry, derailed there for a moment. Point is, for every good thing, there seems to be a bad thing to balance it back to zero!
We have been working for over two weeks to get this place cleaned up so it looks more 'spacious'... which we did. And clean. And neat. And appealing. And looking so good that someone will come along and think they just have to have this house at any cost. But that's just wishful thinking on my part.
I keep praying (begging, pleading) to God for the right buyer to come along soon, but it ain't happened yet. I am trying hard to keep the faith... there must be a reason why it is taking so long and it really isn't my place to question the why's and wherefor's but to just accept that it will happen when it is suppose to. BUT my faith waivers and My Man's holds strong.
We need to get started on the new house, cleaning and painting so WHEN the buyer for this house comes along, we'll be ready to move out. Time and energy are in short supply right now. This has Got to be our last move! We are getting too old for this crap. Well, the body is, but the mind and heart are oh, so young!
So another open house is scheduled for August 13th...another 4 weeks. Hopefully, it will sell before that (our mantra for the last 11 months!). We need all the prayers and good thoughts we can get! I could use some encouraging words, too. I am depressed..........
Postscript: Our realtor called a little while ago... someone wants to see the house tomorrow!! Hoo-ray! They are from out of town (is that good or bad... don't know...just a fact to share) so say prayers!
