Not Counting My Chickens

We sold - pending inspection. We are very much relieved and I will post more about the process once everything is all confirmed. All I can say is that this is a crazy, crazy market. In the meantime I am still trying to keep the place neat and tidy since I know the potential new owner will be spending some time in here poking around tomorrow (at least that's what I did for our inspection!)

Also, don't you find it weird when neighbours ask the price? Five sets of them traipsed through the open house too. Hmph - nosy. We don't even tell our family that - it's kind of personal. I'm pretty open to blogging about finances in the abstract here, but I prefer to remain quiet about it in my real life. Why don't they just do what I do - quietly e-mail your real estate agent and ask.

    Everyone talks about housing prices. It put me off at first, but now I'm just as bad (well, I generally preface it with "if you're comfortable talking about it"). Mostly I think it's because it's a universal experience, either doing well or taking a bath in a housing market, and also home prices are a matter of public record, so it's not as sacred as other purchases.

    Haha, we totally lurk on MLS to see how much the houses in our neighbourhood are going for. Steve claims it's so we have a base idea of what we can get but I'm just plain nosy!! Congrats on the deal!

    I'm always dying of curiosity to know what the actual sale price was vs. the asking price - but I do NOT ever dare ask! Sheesh. ;) Congrats on the pending sale, hope all goes smoothly!
