We were supposed to close tomorrow. Our file didn't get a USDA update today like they were supposed to give so we don't know for sure where USDA is at, just that it was sent on 9/2. Everything is good to go, title, water/septic, appraisal, etc.
I assume we will close next week..I don't want to pack and then have it delayed, but at the same time, I don't want to have to pack overnight. We are excited and want to move ASAP.

Re: when would you pack?
lol.
I just know that if I would of already had stuff packed & our water would have failed I probably would have went home and kicked boxes lol.
So i'm afraid if we have another setback I will throw them or something.
I probably should pack though since it will be next week.
Hate packing.
If something falls through financing wise, we won't be moving, so I guess that's why I'm apprehensive. The house we are in now is family owned so we don't "have" to move it's just super old & not something I want the girls to remember they lived in & we would rather own our own place.
It's just me packing too and i procrastinate. I was still packing the evening we moved back to VA from WV.
I think as soon as I have a 'date' I will be good to go.
I started packing as soon as we knew the seller accepted our offer (it was only a little over 3 weeks between then and when we closed...super quick, I know). There was a lot of stuff we just didn't need for those 3 weeks (extra towels, bedding, pictures on walls, some extra kitchen stuff, etc).
Even though I thought I was ahead of the game, I still ended up rushing at the end. I'd suggest getting started ASAP.
lol this is me!
It just bothers me to have boxes everywhere. Oh well. I'm taking some stuff we don't need and donating to today & then I guess I will get started this weekend.
The other crap thing is we're only moving SEVEN miles. SO MUCH WORK!
We did one room a day up until settlement. The day before settlement we packed up the kitchen, and just left disposable stuff to get us through the last day.
Though I would recommend doing the kitchen in 2 days! It took us 4 hours that night to pack up JUST the kitchen, and it was a small kitchen.
