One down, one to go

Home sale contract signings, that is.

Today we signed the contracts on the sale of this house. Mixed feelings. On the one hand, it’s going to be hard to leave in June (closing date June 20th). But on the other hand, it’s just a house. My priorities have changed. I’m truly looking forward to spending a lot less per month just to make it to the next month. Right now, I’m just thrilled that we don’t have to worry about showing the house anymore. It was actively on the market for 5 days, that was enough for me. :-)
Our house hit MLS less than a month ago, and it’s already off the market. I didn’t expect we’d have too much trouble selling it, but I didn’t think it would be this easy. We spent yesterday in New Jersey looking at places. We placed an offer on a 3 bed/2.5 bath townhouse with a bonus room. Yes, serious downsizing. Still waiting to hear if the offer was accepted. The home is in a large, new development with swimming pool, tennis court, clubhouse and playgrounds. Lots of families live there. Very different quality of life and I can’t wait, Sidewalks, getting to know my neighbors, living near gorgeous Princeton, NJ. Even if we don’t get this place, I’m not worried. The spring market is just gearing up and I know we’ll find something in the next few weeks.
