Showings

Showings, showings, showings. We had 4 today (over 20 total), but still no offers yet. The new home buyers tax credit runs out in 9 days. We'll see what happens.

We'll be so glad to be done with all the showings. I've never heard of anyone having this many. We're thinking perhaps some people are waiting until the last minute hoping for prices to drop again. It is a cute house, everything is in working order, lots of updates, along with new appliances and even a new air conditioner, so hopefully some other little family will have a happy little home here soon.

We've been saying we would rent when we move. We thought fleetingly about trying to buy, but we know that we can't possibly get what we'd want to end up with in 5 years. The thought of having to do this all over again, cured of us of any delusions of buying right away. I'm looking forward to notifying a landlord that we won't be renewing our lease and walking away to our final earthly home (I hope).
