We didn't do it on purpose. But we kind of pulled a dirty trick on our neighbors. Last Friday we put a "For Sale" sign in our front yard and left town for the weekend. They didn't think it was funny.
But yes, we listed our house for sale. Our beautiful, amazing dream house.
And we've come up with lots of reasons why such as "it takes too long to clean." or "he's trying to get out of his calling." (I'm completely kidding about that one.) But truthfully, we've listed it because although we love this house, we want to downsize. Our house is 5300 square feet. And we would be perfectly happy in 3500 square feet. We would like to get into a more modest home and do better things with our money. This house is beautiful and it would be hard to leave (I have second thoughts on a regular basis), but it is just a house and we will fall in love with another. (The hardest part would be leaving our ward and neighborhood. I LOVE it here and hope that if we do sell, we could stay in the area.)
So we will see what happens. Gut feeling? The market isn't moving very fast and while obviously we'd like to sell (we did list it after all), we would only do it if we could get a fair offer. But we've been thinking about it for a long time and just have the feeling that this is what we should do. So here we are...
I'll keep you posted.
