Am I the only one? RE: selling home

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: Am I the only one? RE: selling home

  • That was our plan when we tried to sell our home about 2 years ago. We pulled our house off of the market for various reasons.

    We didn't even look at homes seriously until we got an offer on our house (the offer eventually fell through). We didn't want to find a house we fell in love with before our house sold. It was a little scary to think we could be homeless for a while - but we made sure we put the closing date off as long as the buyer would allow.

    I've had several friends do it the other way around and they all wish they hadn't. Several have lost their "dream" home because they couldn't sell their home. IMO - you are doing the right and responsible thing.

    Good Luck!

  • Just curious, why are you selling your house again?
  • Olivekittys - because we live so far away from our friends/family. We love our area up north and hate to move away from our 'hood, but we are driving down south literally every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. It's just getting old having to drive an hour+ round trip several times a day. So basically, just to be closer to church/work/family/friends. And, we are reading for a larger home. We're busting at the seams!
  • Just be glad you have an offer. We have our house on the market in Abilene...STILL! We put it on the week of Christmas, and it is now mid-May- nothing! It's a very cute, updated 3 bdrm/2 bath/2 car garage house with a great yard and great location in a great school district...still nothing. We are just throwing away $1K+ per month on the darn thing. I am very annoyed w/ our realtor too b/c she is basically not communicating AT ALL with us- I have to contact her everytime. Our contract w/ her is up at the end of May, and we are switching realtors for sure! Good luck on your house hunt- I am sure you are doing it the right way!
