In a few short months our house will be on the market. Okay, four short months. I’ve been ignoring this up until now. Because it was convenient for me to do so.
But really, it’s terrifying. And strangers in my house. Well not so much strangers as potential buyers. But people I will have to smile at on the weekend. Also I will probably have to start the de-cluttering process now so someone who is not insane would want to buy the house. So they will look at it and think how minimalist it is not think about how there is no built in to be seen. Not even one.
Still, we don’t have a flea infestation. So we are one up on the people who sold it to us.
I’m hoping that the fact that we absolutely have to move will make it easier on us. Riley starts school the year after next and there aren’t really any schools around here to send her to. Unless I was religious. Which I am not.
Luckily for us I am not insane enough to try and buy a house at the same time as we are selling ours. So all we have to worry about is this one. And convincing people to buy it.
It will be strange to leave the house where both of my babies were babies. But I am excited for what’s next. Once I get over the stress involved in actually getting there.
Yes, it is daunting but de cluttering is the best and easiest thing to make a house more sellable . It’s hard to leave a house too where they were babies though you have a great attitude looking forward to next adventures and new memories.
I love the whole moving thing. Crazy – so I’ve been told.It’s time to make memories with your family somewhere else. Good luck Zoey.
The second time we moved I loved it and welcomed it. I was four months pregnant at the time too. Even the first time I was alright about it. Moving here I didn’t cope well at all. We move in a month and I’m very anxious. I’m not excited, just….apprehensive. I’ve grown tired of moving house and I long to plant my roots deeply in the ground.
I must admit, I do love moving. I love a good clean out and making new memories. I think it comes from moving over 20 times growing up. Good luck with it all and try not be daunted by it x
JEALOUS! I want to sell so badly. The market here is still crap. I’m so happy you’re moving before school starts. I would love to do that. So you’re coming here right????
Good luck with that! I can only imagine how stressful it would be.
Each of my babies has been newborn in a different house from the others. If I thought too hard about this, I would be overwhelmed with the fact that in five years, I’ve had three kids and moved three times. And sad and sentimental about no longer living where Luca took his first steps, Ziggy cut his first tooth etc.
I imagine that buying (or selling) a house is what being grown up feels like.
