Moving…at least moving our butts

Angela and I are trying to see if we can move in the next 8 weeks. Rather serendipitously we found a house that was for sale but not listed yet. The owner caught us on the street looking at another house in his neighborhood and told us he would be a lot less money for more house because he would be selling “By Owner”. Listing it in April.

So we went to look, it seemed very nice, lots of amenities, three bathrooms, four bedrooms, nice established community, no traffic (top of a no-outlet hill) in South Renton. Seemed good all the way around.

So we put an offer down at his asking price with some contigencies (financing etc) and he countered by adding 15K more to the price and reducing the timeframe on the sale contingency.

Now we are waiting for a market analysis on his house that our listing agent is providing for us to see if we should even continue with the offer.

In the MEANTIME…talking like 6 days here…we have packed up half the basement, painted the ceiling and the walls in the basement, packed up the kitchen, painted the ceiling in there this morning and in the next couple days we will be painting the walls in there as well. Next weekend I am attacking the garage to paint and make pretty.

Either we are selling and then moving in April/May or we will have one heckuva clean house for when Baby Two is born May 4th.

We’ll see what the market analysis brings.
Nice house, hot tub, wet bar with dishwasher and fridge in the basement, two car garage, culd-de-sac, landscaping, nice deck, two fireplaces, updated kitchen with granite counters a gas range and a convection oven.

We’ll know more tomorrow after the Seahawks WIN THE SUPERBOWL!
