I went out to get the mail and noticed our realtor had added a SOLD banner to the For Sale sign on our front lawn. We accepted an offer almost 2 weeks ago, but this really makes it seem official. There are several townhomes for sale in our development, so I was worried that it would take a while to sell, but it was only on the market for 3 weeks (and we didn't even need St. Joseph). It's a big relief, and the cats are very happy that strangers are no longer touring our home.
Honestly, I'm a little sad to leave our house. We've put a lot of work into it, and it will be hard to leave it behind. Since the housing market in the Bay Area is so insane (median price=$689,200), we will be going back to renting an apartment. It feels a little like moving backward, but I know it's all part of a bigger move forward in life.
Nice prayer-nothing like trying to make God uncomfortable to get something done! Good Catholics!

congratulations betsy!
don't worry, we'll find you a new home in the bay area (and it won't be a crack house in west oakland).
hurry up and get here!
