Sold home and gone!

So, we put our townhouse up for sale and figured we'd have a few months to load up, pack, get ready and plan a fall trip after it sold.

So a few weeks pass, and Wholla! Buyer comes with cash offer, sold his place out-of-state and is living in a hotel, wants to close in ten days ... YIKES !

So, we been packing two days, will close next week, and have unlimited time in the TC until we decide to settle again.

Note: We also found a place, closer to the kids and G kids, but it won't even close until June sometime. Now, we get a couple months in spring AND a fall trip to the west coast as well!

One day we have a home, ten days later we're full-timing (again) for a while. Can't beat that! M44

    Keep in touch, let me know if you make it out to socal! I'll be here for a while, unless am out camping. :B


    Yeah Jerry, I will ... we might not make it as far south as you are in CA, but if we do, we'll let you know. We're too late for Death Valley, so will probably cruise west on the southern routes awhile, then north as the weather in the mountains warms - never can tell how that will go.

  • Congratulations!!

    Our house sold in 8 days, full price, cash, and closed in 20 days!!

    It was a whirlwind getting ready when you have planned for a year long transition!!

    The end result however, was all worth it.
  • I am retiring next summer and plan on putting our house on the market next spring. One of my fears is that it sells too quickly and I've got 3 months of work left with no where to live. However, I think I would prefer that scenario to being ready to move and the dang place won't sell.

    Good luck on your adventures.
  • Whoa... kewl...

    I guess it's better than running through an escrow and then have it fall out... so "Off and running ya go..." heheh, fun...
