I hate that phrase!  It seems to be the story of my life.  Always rushing to get somewhere or to get something done only to find myself having to wait once I get there. 

And here I am waiting once more.

We decided to sell our house and move.  This decision came around Thanksgiving time of 2004.  After much discussion, we decided that we'd take a two months to get the house ready and have it up for sale by Feb 1, 2005.

Well, we met our goal and our house has been up for sale for 2 weeks... and we got nothing. 

I could understand if we had a lousy house or if we lived in a lousy neighborhood, but we don't.  We live in a great neighborhood and the half dozen or so agents that have brought people through have all come back with positive feedback about the house.

So, then... what's the deal?  Why haven't we had any offers?  And why aren't there people coming to look?  We had no calls both Friday and Saturday and only 2 showings today.  It's been like that for the past two weeks.  We'll have two or three days of nothing... no calls, no showings.. nothing.  Then we'll have have a few days of two showings here, 3 showings there...

It's enough to make me scream. 

In the mean time, I bust my butt each morning after getting the kids to school, cleaning and getting the house in "showing" order only to have nothing happen all day.  *heavy sigh*

I know sometimes these things take time and it's not that... it's that we are getting hardly any lookers and the few that have shown some interest have either backed out or cannot qualify.

So, there is my rant for the day. 

Peace, ya'll and hey... thanks for listening! 

I feel your pain, bug. It was exactly the same why I sold my house after I split up with Alec. But take heart... my house was sold, and so will yours be and even though the waiting is excruciating, it will all be worth it in the end.

I'm thinking of you, dear friend.

Having been in the business, think you need to be a BIT MORE PATIENT. You have people coming through, and that is a good thing. Also, you have your house listed at a traditionally slow time of the year. Take time is coming, and the kids do not get out of school until June. Sure if you can just relax a bit, and put some lemons out next time the house shows that you will be fine.
