Done Deal

We put our Florida home on the market just after the first of the year.  Two weeks after, we had a contract. We spent the next few weeks getting the “stuff” done…inspection and appraisal.  While we waited, we spent our time thinning out our stuff, researching and settling on a mover, and finding a rental for next winter’s stay. 

Happy to report that now, at last, it’s a done deal.  

The process went very smoothly until the appraisal.  It came in low and was unfair and inaccurate in everyone’s opinion save the bank.  It’s become so obvious to us that the banks are manipulating the market.  At any rate, both parties took reasonable positions and compromised to make it happen: the difference between sale price and appraisal is being split 50-50.   

Now the packing up and closing out begins in earnest.
