As of Friday this past week, my townhouse is officially sold! It's a big step forward towards moving into the new house my parents and I are building come July. Thanks to my skilled realtors, Nathan and Art Neufeld, I was well taken care of.
The timing of my sale probably couldn't be better. I couldn't have gotten the price I did even a month or two ago. The market is so crazy right now. Once my house went live on the MLS site, not only did I get several showings scheduled including one that very evening, but within seven hours I already had an offer! Sight unseen! The reason for this is because that buyer's realtor lives in my complex with the same floor plan as mine, so the buyer already knew she liked it. And from my photos in the listing, they could tell mine is in great condition. She had been trying and trying to get into my complex but she kept losing bidding wars.
The next day, I had seven more showings and my realtor informed those realtors we'd be looking at offers that evening. Even though no more offers were made, that's okay! The existing offer still stood (that buyer was one of the showings), and it was $100 over my list price and she was willing to wait for my July completion dates. Perfect! I happily set a new record, I believe, for my floor plan, though I don't expect that record to stand too long given what the market is doing.
So, now that the subjects have been removed, I don't have to keep having showings just in case. I can get on with life more and complete some projects for prepping for the new house (refinishing some furniture, etc.).
I'm so thankful for the way the Lord provided and prepared the way for this process to go smoothly. To Him be the glory!
