Is this normal when you sell your house?

We got an offer on our house yesterday and now I'm getting major cold feet. As in, should we really be doing this?! We're going to be HOMELESS!! What if we can't find anything we like?! Am I totally normal?? I'm just freaking out about how quickly this has gone. Excited, but freaking out.  Our plan is to live with my folks for several months to save up a good down payment, but the thought of not having MY home anymore is freaking me out!

I just need to hear someone else tell me that they did the same thing when they got an offer on their home!!  Ok, freak out over. For now.  :)

Re: Is this normal when you sell your house?

  • What you're feeling is normal. Moving out of your house is a big deal, and it would be even if you knew what house you'd eventually be moving to. Give it a few days, try and relax and do other things. I'm sure the anxiety will go away.
  • We did it! Well, we still are, actually. We're trying to move to a new part of the state but it's tricky with two new jobs and the fact that I have to finish up the school year. Our house closed two weeks ago and we put almost everything in storage and got a short-term lease on an apartment until we both have jobs in the new town. Then we will buy!

    It is super scary but it will work out for the best!

  • Yep, we sold our house before we found the other.... but it is SO much better then the other way around.  That way when you do find your new house you can put in an offer and not worry about having two mortgages
