House Sale

We are in the process of selling our house. Most everyone knew that we were trying to sell our house as part of the move over here. My company helps out with the sale. That coupled with our general situation made it very attractive to sell rather than rent it out and keep it for when we return someday. Of course, if you've been following the news lately, you might have heard that the economy is not doing too well, and that it's not all that easy to sell a house right now.

Well, our recent good news is that we are selling the house. We received a decent offer and are almost through the selling process. The negotiations, inspections, more negotiations and bank appraisal have all come through perfectly. So, if everything keeps going as it has been, we will close on the sale - perhaps the end of next week.

The house sale is a little different than normal because a third party is involved. This is part of the assistance that my company gives us. The third party jumps in and buys the house from us when the paperwork is done - sometime next week. They will turn around and sell it to the actual buyer on the 29th of April. Also, much of the paperwork must be flown back and forth across the Atlantic - what fun.

So, check in next week to see if we are celebrating.
