Showing the house feels bittersweet to me. On one hand it's exciting to have interest and potential buyers. But on the other hand, I want to say "get the hell out". I can't be the only one to be stressed and weirded out by this, right? Have I watched too many Sell This House type shows? The idea of strangers looking around my house is literally keeping me up at night. I stayed far away from the afternoon Open House, choosing instead some retail therapy combined with ridiculous amounts of sugar. More on why you'd be certifiably crazy to try losing weight while selling your house in another post...
One the plus side the house looks great! Chris did the photos for our listing (having a photographer husband is so handy!) and I'll post them this week.
I think this will be one of those times where I have to keep reminding myself that "this too shall pass". In order to get to the finish line, the fresh start, we'll have to overcome some challenges along the way. A new house will bring many positive things - more convenient location, new school and friends for the kids, and a bit more financial breathing room. I just need to remind myself that a few hundred times and I might just make it through this in one piece.
