Taking turns has always been a great strategy when
my kids have friends over to play and want to play with
the same toy, but did you know it also works for adults?
Rob and I are taking turns being frustrated over having
to sell our house. This week it is my turn, last week
it was his. Laurie asked what was going on and here's
the answer - Nothing much!
We've had at least 2 or 3 showings every week we've had
it on the market but no bites. This week, we haven't had
any showings at all. I still keep my house spotless at all
times for that what if. Well, spotless might be over doing
it a little. It's clean enough and I'm sick of busting my hiny
to hear comments that are just very picky. You can
afford to be picky in this market. It stinks because this market
is awful!!!! There are 10 houses for sale within a miles radius of our
house. Our neighbors are selling "just because" they want to
move to another area and get a bigger house. They have
two kids with a big house and a huge, flat back yard. Do
what you want to do but why in the heck stress yourself
out trying to sell a house in this horrible market if you
don't have to. It's bad enough when you have to because
of your husbands job.
I can honestly say that I am seriously jealous of anyone who
has lived in a house longer than four years (or the same state
for that matter). I'm so sick of moving every few years. So
sick of it!!!! It doesn't help either that I absolutely love my
life here in Georgia and that is saying a lot considering I've
spent a lot of time in this state being extremely sick! It's
a good thing the move is to Texas where I have a lot to look
forward to.
Well, next week I'll have a better attitude and Rob can be the
frustrated one. I guess taking turns is better than two grouchy
adults at the same time. It always seems to work on Tyler!
Does that mean that we are acting like four year olds? :)

I am so sorry that you are having such a tough time selling your house! I have heard that this market is tough-- but you have beat tougher this year!
Take a breath, it's the weekend, and your turn is over being frustrated.Oh Casey! I'm sure it will happen soon. This is a crazy economy, but the right thing will happen. Does Rob's company buy your house if you can't sell it?
Nope! They did that until just last year. I guess they were getting stuck with too many houses. If it doesn't sell, we might just have to go to them and tell them they buy it or we don't move. It is already below appraisal level and we are not going to just give our house away. @Rochelleht -
