Stress is not building a home, it's selling s home.

I am beginning to feel that the worst part of this entire process is selling your current home.  You sink cash into some modest updates, fresh paint...clean for hours on end...vacate for hours on end with dogs in tow.  Only to be told the dining room is too small or the bedrooms are not big enough or they really want hardwood (like you could not see from the pictures that we have tile and carpet.

Then you have to thank the spoiled  little millennial brats for looking and you hope they liked it, while all the while you are cursing them under your breath for wasting three hours of your weekend.

It is stressful as hell.  No wonder some people never move.

Rant over for now.

  1. I'm so sorry. It does all suck. Stress for us is paying for the new home!

  2. I agree! Selling our house was the easy part, though. It sold in one weekend. Now we are waiting for the lender's underwriter to decide if we need a 2nd appraisal because she believes the first one was too high (it was our contracted price with our buyers). Closing is set for June 7 and they still haven't decided. In the meantime the buyer's loan has been approved for the contracted amount!

  4. You got lucky. The market for our size home and price range has gone soft. We had to make a major price cut before it sold. But at least it sold.
