My House Listing

It's a long, narrow lot.

Yes, which is nice, and long;
And from at least some of the windows, one can see and be near....
the Hudson River! That would be a big plus, for many people, regarding the setting.

A negative to many people might be that driveway situation, but it can and will be dealt with by the next owner, in whatever way.

I think it's great that you are moving on, and will have a smaller house to maintain.

You aren't capable of getting it. Or, (more likely) you just don't want to get it.
It has nothing to do with home values or property values or the importance of home repairs.
It has everything to do with insulting & degrading someone who probably can't afford to keep up a house.

Why am I the only person that thinks I understand your co-dependent relationship and everyone else is just horrified? :LOL: Your back-and-forth is the most entertaining part of SF! 👍
 
My relator called this morning and said they had two offers ($130K and $140K) and that I could expect two showings today. One person that came today made a verbal offer of $100K. My agent urged me to take the $140 which is the asking price and that she is closing the listing out by 5 pm today. Whoever makes the best offer gets the house. It hasn't been on the market for even a week! Sounds like she's in a hurry to unload it.

Yes, but probably for both her own, and for your benefits.
Also might be because she knows that offers slow down greatly, after the first week listings.
In addition, owning the place longer, means you have to continue paying other bills for many things for it, for longer, which takes more money away from you,
and it complicates your moving, as home insurance wants you to live in, etc.....

AND, it WILL be harder to show, and to sell, any house, once winter sets in stronger!

All good reasons for her to encourage you to " jump ship" :LOL:
or to take this next step, as a leap of faith!(y):D

Okay! Roll it down the street in front of you, if need be, but let's go! :giggle:😁😊

Nearly all houses sell within a week these days. As soon as a property hits the internet multiple listings, anyone with the slightest interest in the area, price range and property type knows to check it out ASAP. More time rarely yields more offers.

p.s. Did the movers already come? If so, why didn't you have them move the roll-top desk at that point? If not, same question... why not have them move it?
 
I went to the realty office to sign some papers this morning an my agent mentioned that the people that are buying my house are interested in some of the antiques. Maybe I can get to leave a fair amount of them. They offered $5000 more than the asking price which, IMO, more than entitles them to anything in the way of furniture they want. I am waiting to hear from my agent to get the buyer's email address so I can send photos of the items I am willing to leave.

I think your house is wonderful, look at that woodwork, a craftsman has to have spent so much time on that house. I hope that it is not a teardown. we had to sell a family members home that had been neglected for lack of cash. Someone came along and saw the interior just like yours and has spent the money to bring it up to standard. Your home is also on a very large lot. Those prices for the listings??? weve not soon those prices in 20 years. Here they would all be $ listings. Good luck with your move, looking forward to the new saga.

A good idea of why I should proof read, meant to write we've not seen and million $ listings.;)
