work, work

We've been contemplating a move closer to Josh's office for about 6 months, but never made any moves towards getting back in the real estate game. That would require effort and research and right then we were tired/lazy. And the housing market (at least for sellers) was supposed to be yucky and we probably wouldn't sell for much more than we paid for this place. Blah. Really, our current house is just fine, we decided.

BUT! After spending a couple of afternoons house hunting with Chelsea and Jonathan (including looking at a few comparable places near our neighborhood), we realized that the market is better than we presumed. Combine that with the first-time buyers that are out shopping for houses to beat the April 30 tax credit deadline (the probable type of buyer for our little abode) and we decided to put our house on the market. Well, it's almost on the market. All those unfinished house projects we have? They are quickly nearing completion... even without Stan the man around to help. We're hoping to get listed within the next 10 days or so. Wish us luck.

We're hopeful the place will sell quickly, but if it doesn't go under contract by the end of April then we'll take it off the market and be content staying here for a little longer.

And with all the activity that must occur to get this place ready for potential buyers, the blog will once again take a backseat... but only temporarily.
