So it's been a busy past two days. The realtor who will be listing my house came over last night. Her mother was my daughters 7th grade social studies teacher. She also was the owner of, and one of the care givers of the day care daughter attended.
My daughter loved her. I liked her and her husband. They were nice people.She died unexpectedly last year, I felt like I was doing something for her by giving her daughter my house to list.
So she came to my house last evening and we reviewed all the crap that needed to be looked over......decided on a selling price.........
So she'll officially list my house next Wednesday night. In the mean time I will be busy sprucing up the place.
I also put in a contract today on the condo.
I GO BETWEEN BEING EXCITED TO wanting to just stay in my comfort zone and tell everyone all deals are off.
I also feel guilt selling my children's childhood home. On TV the parents stay in the home forever. Grand kids and adult children visit......and on TV they even keep the adult children's bedroom decorated the way it was when the kid left off to college.................I always thought that's what I would do...........................I feel guilt selling..............my sons will have no emotional connection to my new home. I feel like I'm taking their home away from them. Because I am......aren't I?

This is just me girl but I believe the "American Dream" is really a nightmare. My wife & I have decided that we will never buy property again. If we move when we retire we will rent and let someone else worry about the upkeep and taxes. Really the older I get the less I am concerned about "things". As the saying goes, "to each his own". I hope you get what you really want so you can be happy with it.
