This week has been pretty busy for us…

We put our house up for sale on Wednesday evening, and had two open houses this weekend.  It was pretty insane the number of people that toured the home – about 80 GROUPS of people came through.  And we had additional showings before and after the open houses on both Saturday and Sunday.  I guess timing is everything – thanks David Hogan (our agent) for pushing us to get it listed sooner rather than later.  Let’s hope all that traffic actually produces some families that actually want to buy our home!  We’re scheduled to review any offers on Wednesday.

Redfin has dubbed ours a “Hot Home” – hopefully they’re right and it will sell within the next 9 days!

Besides listing the home this week, we also heard back from the County that our permit was officially approved and ready to be picked up whenever we want to grab it!  Finally…all of the reviews were done and we can cross that off our list.

But we’re not quite ready yet – on Sunday we finished negotiating our contract with Matt from Ruttan Construction – our General Contractor.  It took a couple weeks, but the terms are mutually accepted now and we can sign them today.  Tomorrow we should be submitting all of the paperwork to the bank to be able to start the process of appraisal and getting the construction loan.
