Contract

The day after I posted the blog entitled, "Are we there yet?" I got a call from the guy that was interested in our house.  We had talked a week earlier and he made a low offer and Amy and I countered it and he said he would call us back to let us know.  He didn't call us back until a week later. By that point, we thought it was over.  We were wrong.  He said he would take the house at the price I offered him. Big Jesus! With our house being off the market for almost a month after 14 months of trying to sell it, without a sign in the yard, without realtors, and with a house with a broken water heater, and a kitchen without countertops and the backsplash all torn out, a dishwasher needing repair, a microwave needing repair, and a water well needing repair, we got a contract on our house. We sold it AS-IS for more than what we thought we'd get. God is amazing!

Not having a realtor saved us 6% in fees.  The price we got was almost exactly 6% less than what we originally listed our house for 15 months ago - a difference of $170.
