Disappointing

On Wednesday we got some bad news about the sell of our home. The buyers canceled the contract due to another job opportunity. Apparently the buyer was in the military and when he got out he applied for several government jobs including the FBI. He took a job in Customs and that is why they were going to move into our home. Well then a few days ago received a letter from the FBI accepting him to their academy. Of course he could not pass that opportunity up.

I have mixed emotions about the whole situation. I am disappointed that our family had to go through a lot of stress getting ready to move in two weeks. Now all that stress was for nothing. We had to cancel the move in June and prep the house again to sale. Another downside is the traffic of people coming through our home again.

Some of the positives are that we get to stay together as a family, until Lam finishes his job in July. We can enjoy more time with our friends. Kylee will be able to swim at the splash park. We might be able to see some of the monsoon season before we move. Use our Barbeque grill a little more.

We put our house back on the market yesterday and listing it at $182,000. I got a call within two hours of the house changing to Active on the MLS website. I of course was gone and the house was still in shambles from the busy week before. I actually told a realtor “NO,” they could not come. I offered them to come on Saturday, however the buyers were only in town on Friday. Oh well, maybe we will get some calls this weekend if not I will not mind.

Sorry to hear about the house. Every housing market is crappy right now but something will work out. Plus like you said, you can be together until July. Good luck!
