This Damn House

Signed with our realtor today. MLS listing goes live next Wednesday. Realtor open house on Thursday. General public open house the following Sunday.

EEEEEK!

Last week, we saw a For Sale sign go up on the house two doors down from ours. Naturally, we looked it up; the stats were very similar to our house in terms of number of rooms, square footage, lot size, features, etc. They were asking about $10K less than we were hoping to ask. AND they have a view of the pond. (Our house is only about 200 feet from the pond but our property doesn't actually front the pond and there's a rise blocking to view.) ACK!

Then today we saw that there's a SALE PENDING notice on the For Sale sign. Sale pending?!? In less than 7 days?!? If that sale goes through, that's good news for us in many way!

Our 4 page To Do list is down to less than a page! And tomorrow is the grand unveiling of our new STOOP! I can't wait to see what it looks like.

Our realtor said we could take our own listing photos. This is cool because it means I can stage one room at a time and take the pics, rather than have to get the house in show condition 4 days early just for photos. It's also fun.

So here are some possible listing photos:
