1. On February 28, 2010 we listed our house for sale. And, having done this a couple of years ago, and never getting a single offer, and with the housing market in the shape it is in, I was not very optimistic about a quick sale and proceeded with my spring cleaning.
2. Several people looked at the house since it was a new listing. I was cleaning every single day to keep things nice and neat for potential buyers.
3. On March 8, 2010, we had a potential buyer look at the house that seemed to "look" a little longer than the others.
4. On March 13, 2010 I took all the screens off the windows, cleaned the windows inside and out, scrubbed the window ledges, and cleaned the blinds. I also cleaned out the laundry room, threw away some useless stuff, made a pile for Goodwill, made a pile for mama, etc.
5. On March 14, 2010, we got a contract on our house. I think it is because I cleaned the windows. :)
6. On March 16, 2010 my husband went to look at houses without me because I DO NOT LIKE LOOKING AT HOUSES!!! And, he found one he thought I would like.
7. On March 17, 2010, I went to look at the house he thought I would like, as well as three others. I picked the one he thought I would like.
8. Long story short, we made an offer, negotiated a few things for a few days, and we now have a contract. Home inspections are complete and we close on both houses in 4 weeks. Moving day is April 28, 2010.
9. I started packing this weekend. Upstairs is completely packed. Brandy helped me pack Saturday morning and we have packed the dining room and part of the den. Yesterday I packed a lot of kitchen stuff. No dishes, but cookbooks and stuff. I had 4 large boxes of cookbooks.
10. Today, I am tired, and it is only just beginning....
