No One's Looking For A House Now?
Hello all. Well, we thought we were out of the woods as far as prospective home buyers for the winter and internally I was breathing a sigh of relief. It is really hard to make the home "perfect" for the potential buyer when we live here and don't really want to move a few months before we have to move again anyway. We got a call the other day saying someone wanted to look at the house on Wednesday night. Now if we were selling the house we would just show them around and be done, but the Realtor gives them an hour window to see it and so we have to find something to do. Luckily it was choir night so we would have something to do. I spent quite awhile tiding, scrubbing, sweeping and vacuuming. After all, this house has been on the market for quite some time and we are blessed to be able to use it at such a low cost so I try my hardest to swallow and do the work as well as if it were my own house I really wanted sold. That same day we got called, another Realtor wanted to show it this Saturday morning at 10 am. Okay, take a breath, I was gonna clean it anyway for small group on Thursday. Well, it is Friday and we just got a call saying the people that came on Wednesday want to come back and see it on Saturday at 11 am. I also found out that the house next to us has sold. So much for "no one is buying houses now". I think I am a little apprehensive at the thought of the possibility of 2 moves in as little as 3 months. Oh well.

Yes, it is really hard to live in a house and keep it clean for house showings! I admire you for putting your best forward even though it isn't "your" house. God knows where you need to be. I will be praying for you.
Hopefully you can get a 90-120 day closing date if it goes under contract this month. I think people may be worried that interest rates will go up, so may want to buy now. We pray that God will provide for you, and that you won't be too disrupted too soon.
That can be frustrating; but we're looking forward to seeing where God is leading you two!
