I think I’m finally selling my house tomorrow

It’s been such a rollercoaster getting to this point, and I think that’s partly why I haven’t shared every update along the way. Every time it looked like we were making progress, something would come up to delay things or throw us a curveball. There were moments when I thought it was just never going to happen, and after a while, it became a bit exhausting to get my hopes up, only for plans to change yet again.

But this time feels different. Knowing that the buyer’s lender has officially sent the package to the title company feels like a huge milestone, and it’s really starting to sink in that tomorrow could actually be it – the day I finally close this chapter and say goodbye to the house. As I walked through the rooms one last time, the memory of the home clean out process came rushing back—sorting through years of belongings, deciding what to keep, and what to let go. I know there were times I thought, “I’d like to Sell my house fast in Everett,” but even then, I had to remind myself to stay cautiously optimistic, just in case. Now, though, it’s hard not to feel a little excited at the thought of truly moving forward.

I feel a little guilty for not telling everyone sooner, especially my mom, but the uncertainty made it hard to share. I think part of me was just waiting for something concrete, something I could feel confident about. Now that we have a set time for closing, it feels a lot more real, and I can start to share the news with everyone. Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly tomorrow!

life updates – packing and moving

We’ve been really busy lately packing and cleaning my house in hopes of getting it ready to show, hence very little writing here. We took a truck load of stuff to Goodwill, and have been packing lots. This morning a Pod will arrive so we can begin unloading my house of all the clutter. They’ll haul it away and store it for a month until we’re ready to move into the new house.

I’ve had a couple of calls and a couple of e-mails about seeing the house so far. Please pass along the info to anyone you think might want a fun DIY project.

Also, I still have some furniture for sale (bunk beds, a double bed, a coffee table) if you’re interested. E-mail if you are.

In addition to my house being for sale, I’m also selling some furniture to “scale down” for the new place. Click on the link to see pictures of a couple of nice beds and a coffee table we won’t have room for at the new place.
