Things are really starting to move fast when it comes to buying and selling homes. First, I signed the offer and counter-offer on my house. It was a list-price offer with $5K back at closing. A little less than I wanted to take, but nothing huge. Plus, they want to close by the end of March which is even better. This way, I won't have to make an April mortgage payment and can start eliminating utility payments.
The second exciting detail is that we have our Pre-Closing Orientation (walk-through) and Title Appointment. I love how builders spin things now. It's no longer a walk-through, because you find problems during a walk-through. Calling it an orientation is a more positive spin, and if you happen to find issues to correct, so be it. That date in April 20th. We'll be able to pick up our keys on April 25th.
The house is evolving so rapidly. Two months ago, it was just some trenches and maybe forms for the foundation. Today, it's a full-blown structure with windows, doors and closets. Very, very impressive. It's getting closer, and we are getting excited!
On a completely unrelated note, every morning I am reminded why I love satellite radio. Amy's alarm is set to a specific radio station with a morning team I can't stand. This morning was no different. In an effort to address topics of the day, they opted for a call-in segment. That's when you realize how many uneducated people are out there in this town. Amazing.

Very cool that you have a potential buyer and that the new house is almost ready to move in.
Also, Opie and Anthony all the way! Long live XM Radio!
:-)
How exciting that your house may be sold in the next month. The new house already has doors! Even more exciting. It's going to be done April 25th? Time sure flies, doesn't it.
Darryll - Yeah. XM rules. I read something the other day that there are some stations where programming is provided by ClearChannel Communications. These stations will start having commericals starting some time this spring. From what XM says, they will be providing replacement channels that are commercial-free, so the net result is the same.
Lora - Yeah. It's really exciting. The best news is that when things happen, Amy's first response now is just to vomit, she's stopped hyperventilating. That's progress!
