Well!!! This whole new conversation took a turn!
I had also wondered about that guy and his dog, but I have traveled a lot this year, and time does get away from us seniors ...

RN Looks like I'll be keeping Mr Handsome's dog for a few days until he buys a new truck.

RN The real estate lady just finished taking a couple outside pictures of the house for the "Coming Soon" ad. I am so nervous.

Naja, you have put a lot of work in on that house and it should help in preparation. .

RN Here we go. I'm terrified!
Carol, my real estate agent just left. She told me not to even look at listings until I am in the position to bid. Or my heart will keep getting broken. I can't bid until my house is officially listed. Right now it's in "coming soon" stage. Or rather starting tomorrow it is.

Naja. Do NOT stop looking at listings, and do NOT express ANY heartfelt sentiments to your realtor, who may appear now to be your new best friend but is not, unless you went to school together and have remained best friends for life.
Continue to look at listings, preferably SOLD listings, so you can gauge the market as to what is available, and what they have sold for. (Pretend to yourself that you are looking for the best cell phone plans or the best anything you are an expert at). You are not now a real estate expert, but you sure as HELL have the intellect to become one. Do it, while you are home studying for your real estate license.
And, all that is IF you have the luxury to not have to sell right now.

I totally concur with Juju’s post above. Before I ever bought, I went online to check the market and, at times, went to open houses to get a feel for what the prices were for the type of place I wanted ( even if I wasn’t interested in the actual house I was looking at). When I actually came to the point of buying, I was able to pull the trigger immediately because I had learned so much about what I wanted and didn’t want at what price.

Jumping on the train. Before I read Juju's post, I was thinking.. Nah! Naja isn't someone you tell to just sit in the dark like a mushroom.
I am sorry about the house with the cute entry, but now you know that would be a desirable feature.
You are good at researching.
Also sometimes sales fall through. That is how my parents got the house they lived in.. New homes were being built with views and we were on the list but in the days before cell phones we got the call on Christmas Eve and we weren't home and all the prospective homes were snapped up. Dad said please contact us if something falls through.. And that happened.
When I sold my first condo, we got an offer, supposedly pre approved.. But it fell through and someone else bought it.
But if you think your heart can't handle it, you of course have a choice..
How soon is soon?

RN haha! Oh how right you guys are. No way I can stop looking at listings.
RN October 2 is the date we have picked to go on the market. If I'm not ready we'll extend that a few days.
The hardest part will be the showings. Because in the meantime I can't stop sitting dogs. She wants me to kennel them in the garage since it will only be 15-30 minutes.

Naja, we had to do something similar when we were showing my mother's house. We had 3 dogs.
The realtor would show them the garage first. It was huge, probably more Sq footage than the house, the property was a farm a long time ago. Then he would show them the "shop" a small building between the house and garage, and while he was doing that and distracting potential buyers, we would run to the garage with the dogs and he would show them the house. I think he'd send us a quick text to know when to make our move.
Ot it could have been vice versa. Either way, I remember us trying to peep out windows and trying to listen to them talk as they were looking at the yard itself.

RN The "coming soon" ad just popped up! The 3 pictures there make it seem like such a great place. LOL (it's not, it's just ok) And no way do I think I will get 235K. The agent just wanted to start it at that to get reactions to see where we should set it in the future.

You are on 0 acres of property? (2nd ad)
And the first ad says you have 250 Sq feet of property.
