I still can't believe the string of events that worked out in our favor this weekend.
Last week we put an offer in on a year round lake house outside of town. It was exactly what we have been looking for, lots of privacy, since our lot is about 1.5 acres, wooded, with 250ft of lakeshore, which is mostly trees. And the house is only three years old and was built by the most reputable custom builder in town.
We had the weekend to work out the offer/purchase contract, then we would put our current house on the market today. Well wouldn't you know it, our realtor knew of some folks in town for the weekend house hunting, that were looking for something like what we were selling, so they came to see the house before it was already on the market, and after already losing two other houses to being outbid, they gave us our asking price! Before we even had it listed! And we thought/expected it to take us a couple months to sell it!
So the bottom line is this: The address in my profile is only good for another two weeks, then we're moving. I'll put a new address in my profile shortly. If for any reason anyone needs it, feel free to pm me, otherwise it'll be there, and I'll be in my new home, on the 16th!

PS - the only pics I have of the house are off of the listing, which also shows the price, so at the risk of offending anyone or pulling a "Look at me!", I will have to wait until I can get some pics of my own. And figure out how to post them.
