Under Contract and Foundation Setting

After weeks, months, stressing about cleaning, and spot painting, cleaning carpets, scrubbing showers, replacing windows, Chris dedicating hours to yard work, washing every item that can fit in the washing machine; I am happy to say our Kingsmill house in under contract this evening.

We listed and had first viewings at an open house late morning on Saturday. Though, our realtor told us she received a cash offer at 2am...2 in the morning! What?! Who does that? Anyway, she told them we were not accepting offers until the open house. Our realtor told us we had 18 families come through our house. We then had 4 private showings that same evening, until 6:45. We were pretty exhausted, including the dogs. Nora, thankfully, did not throw up once even though we were in and out of the car several times.

By the evening we had 2 notifications of incoming offers. In the morning we had 3.

All were either list or over.

After a little back and forth (and more showings in the mean time) we finalized a deal with one buyer for over asking in under 30hrs since listing.

We were flabbergasted by our luck. Not only did we get strong offers hours after (and even before) listing, but had such great feedback about our house, both in words and in price points. My prayers were heard and answered. I am forever thankful.

Now we go under inspection. I will not be surprised if we need to fix a couple things, or even tweak the price to compensate. No matter what comes up, I am confident we are in good standing and well on our way to moving closer to our new house.

Which, finally got its foundation poured on Saturday! :D :D :D

This weekend has been a whirlwind, but there is still so much more to go. More updates to follow!
