A week from yesterday, I went out to get the mail with Grace and there was a flyer in the paper box from a Realtor saying that she had a couple that wants to buy in our subdivision and wanted to know if any of us would be willing to sell our house. As soon as a got it I thought... hmmm.. that is interesting.. Adam and I have been wanting to sell our house and praying about the whole situation for probably a year or longer but we knew it was probably impossible. You see.. after having Grace I went part-time and of course, that has greatly affected our finances. We were willing to sell our house and move into something cheaper to help our finances but the market kind of crashed and we were afraid we wouldn't be able to sell and considering we just bought in 2007 we were afraid that the housing value has either stayed the same or dropped. So we couldn't afford a big loss on selling the house. So we looked into some other things but just figured we needed to give it more time. Well, with Spring and Summer coming, it appears people really are buying around here and with the opportunity that was presented to us.. the Real Estate company would only make 3% commission off of us instead of 6 or 7% since we didn't list our house. This is a really good deal because of course that is thousands of dollars. ....
Needless to say.. I called the agent that night to let her tell me about the situation. She said it is a couple that is having a baby (I believe in August) and they want to be in a house by then. They also wanted to buy in our subdivision. There is multiple houses for sale but what is left.. apparently they didn't like. She did say they had put an offer in on a house before and someone else got the house before them. So I worked last weekend.. so we agreed to let them come on Monday to see the house. They came back for a 2nd look on Wednesday and he brought his parents to look also. We know that they are deciding between our house and 1 other house and they have looked at both houses twice. The guy (buyer) worked till 11pm yesterday so nothing was accomplished yesterday. We had given them our asking price yesterday because they requested it. The realtor says she hopes to hear something this evening.
In all, this came out of nowhere and we know that it is totally God. No matter what happens we know it will be the Lord's will and it will help us either way around. It has been hard just waiting to hear the news. But we are trying to be patient... :)
For us, this would mean that we would try to find a house for RENT that is cheaper!!!!! This is what we would like to do since we don't know how much longer we will be here and to save us the stress of worrying about trying to sell and not lose money again after possibly being here only short term. We'll see.. we've done a little internet search but just waiting on the word first!:)
