If you can believe it, our house is now technically under contract. 4 different people looked at it over 4 days and one made us the offer we wanted.
Crazy, right? Now there are contingencies that need to be cleared but over the next 6 weeks, we're on the fast track to closing up shop. We can't believe how quickly everything went.
Here's my interpretation of the course of events leading to the sale (based on contingencies) of our first house:
Day 1: "We really need more space. Maybe we should think about selling the house."
Day 2: "House sold."
Or at least that's what it felt like. I actually saw my wife get stressed out for more than 5 minutes, which was interesting. Usually that's my job. Good thing I dropped into a fugue state over the past week to deal with the life-changingness of it all.
D'aaah fugue states.
Now you're probably wondering what our new house looks like. Well...so are we! We've just begun sorting through the listings and figuring our our options. If it takes even three times as long as it took for our house to sell (based on contingencies), we'll be flying high.

Congratulations! Let me know if you could use my help with boxing or hanging with the boys at any point. :)

Thanks Julie! One thing we know you won't be able to look forward to is meticulously removing staples from a staircase or scraping white paint off of hardwood floors!
Congrats, Bretts! No doubt your prospective buyer is an avid Chachi reader. You had them at "hello." CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations! May your move be stress-free!
but... how else will I sublimate my OCD tendencies?

Indeed R & J(one N), they couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy the space where the magic of Chachi Milk was created. It's almost like buying Elvis' childhood home.
Thanks!
Thanks Susan!
Julie - congrats on the first use of the word "sublimate" in this blog. Well done.
I was just about to use the word "sublimate" too, if only I knew what it meant.
It's pronounced "Shar-day."
