The Ball Starts Rolling
Things are beginning to ramp up for our intended move to North Caroline this summer. We have met, either by phone or email with realators in both Las Vegas and Raleigh to begin the process of selling our house and buying a new one in North Carolina. The process is mildly overwhelming, but we are confident we have good people on our side to see us through this transition. We will be travelling to North Carolina next week to meet with the realator there and check out the various towns and neighborhoods that make up the Triangle Area. We are very much looking forward to that. Beth and I both check out Craig's List a few times a week to look at the new listings there and are excited about some of the things we've seen.
We hope to have our house on the market by the middle of March. That should give us 90 to 120 days to sell the house and complete the closing prior to moving to NC. In some of the comps our realator here in Vegas pulled, homes have gone from listing to closing in as little as 28 days to as long as 127 days. There is quite a range here and the Vegas market is softening, but stablizing. It looks like we're going to have to settle on the lower end of the price range we were looking at, but even still that amount is double what we paid four years ago for the house. I can't really complain about that. But, then again, more money is always a good thing!
The entire process seems overwhelming. Buying a house the first time was stressful, but much easier than we had anticipated. Buying a new house in NC is not so stressful, but the combination of Beth looking for a job, selling our house, buying a new one and moving cross country will definately be a chore.
