"Its not the house....it really is just us!" is the reason that keeps rolling off my tougue when well meaning neighbors inquire about the for sale sign staked down in our yard.It is not that I don't love my home, because I do, it really is such a great house we are just looking for different things....;)
Being "on the market" whether your a home or a person feels exactly and completely the same....well sorta!
In January our home went under contract after only a week....it was like some amazing whirl wind romance (that was expensive and an incredible amount of work) only to get broken up with because "It didn't feel right." for them. I cried to their realtor when she "broke the news."
Now we are back in the game trying to be cautiously optimistic as we wait. The for sale sign in our yard is like a shout out to friends....and the MLS well that is like EHarmony...My days are spent cleaning....So when our homes potential suitors come knocking it looks like "Oh it always looks like this!" HA ;)
Then they come with their realtors (who are like the opinionated/obnoxious little sly brothers of the scenario....I don't even have a little brother) My sweet aunt and sister in law are excluded from that generalization!!
I had a realtor last week that kept saying "can I give you a little tip."...I wanted to give him a tip...unless it is money chances are people don't appreciate them....
After a couple leaves you are stuck stewing wondering if they liked your home or not...or if they will ever call....;)
on the flip side when your looking There are homes that aren't much from the outside....Utah is full of gems like this....got to love myself a 1970 ranch style rambler
only to look like this in the inside!! We will call this a VERY good personality ;)
Then there is the estates that are way "out of your league"
Only to be hiding red carpet and brick wall paper and the cutest behind :) not to mention the same ceiling that every elementary school from here to the great Mississippi has!
and those my friends are actual utah homes!
