We've been trying to sell off and on for about two 1/2 years now and finally we have a cash offer on our place that is exactly what we were asking. Now that it is real, I never realized how attached to this house I was.
The place we want to move into is much newer and more up to date on about 5 times the land and an awesome detached shop. I've already been pre-approved for it and I know we'll have no problems with that. It's just damn..
I brought my baby girl home to this house.. It's the first place we bought after we got married. My wife and I have renovated it basically top to bottom over the last 8 years.
I look around me and all I see is my blood sweat and tears invested in every square foot. And I mean we did it all..
New hardwood floors, new roof, New bathrooms, remodeled bedrooms, I screened in the porch, dug a fish pond, updated the kitchen, We built a stone courtyard in he front, stucco'd the outside, built a theater/pool table room, added an office. Moved walls around.. I brought a beautiful ash tree back from nearly dead in the front yard. we've done a lot.
As nice as the new place is.. and it is nice, I just can't help but feel like I'm selling out.
I'm being stupid, I know.. It's just 4 walls and a roof. It's a building and it doesn't care if I stay or go.
The upshot is the new place has much better privacy and is safer for the kids.. we live on a highway and so our location is what kills us. Wish I could just take this place and plop it onto that lot of land... It makes me sad to leave it.
