sell this house, part viii

we had our open house today. our agent didn't bake cookies as promised, probably because our place is mostly sold anyway. we still got 15 people, which is a lot. i remember watching one of those house-selling shows on hgtv, and the people were happy with 7 people coming to their open house.

one thing about those house-selling shows on hgtv. they're very misleading. they show the terrible houses with the cat poo stuck on the walls and horrible paint and decor - they throw a fresh coat of paint on the walls, get a slipcover for the couch, rearrange the existing ugly furniture, and voila, it's sold in a day. it so doesn't work that way!!!! i think that's another reason we were expecting to sell sooner.

small snag with the offer on the table - the buyer faxed back the agreement but didn't inital any of our changes. that obviously was a problem because she didn't initial the new price, which technically isn't legally binding. it turns out it was a mistake and not her trying to be sneaky and hoping for an even lower price. it has been faxed to our agent's office and i think it's all good.

even though we went lower in price, the $1500 less is worth it if it means i can have my kitty cat back home! and then i can post my next installment of people who look like people...
