*Facepalm* Oh, Pendejo (house selling drama)
Hallo all! Seriously, you know you're about done with your recovery when your X's idiocy just makes you facepalm rather than actually get pissed off...
Saturday, I spoke to my realtor, set a price for the house, and worked on paperwork to get my house sold. Because I want the house sold relatively quickly, we set a price that was fair and in keeping with similar homes in the immediate area, but not extremely low by any stretch of the imagination. It's also about 25% more than we bought the house for four years ago. Since the house is paid off (thanks to a generous gift by my late grandfather), I'm thrilled to pieces at the appreciation in value.
Apparently, XH is not. I got a note not too long after my conversation with the realtor only to discover that XH did not approve the price, which is a requirement per the divorce decree to actually get the darn thing listed. The realtor told me she'd send more information to XH and try to explain the reasoning for the listing price we arrived at (I trust this woman, as we have a long history with her and she knows the area and the market we're working within very well). An hour later, I got an email from XH. Even though I told him I wanted the house sold as soon as is possible for a reasonable amount (and IMHO, a 25% appreciation over 4 years with little more than us having put in crown molding in two rooms, replaced the water heater, and painted the aforementioned two rooms is more than reasonable), he's somehow surprised that I do, in fact, want the house sold relatively quickly. He wants to sit on the house as long as is necessary to get more money.
In the mean time, we're paying HOA dues, taxes, and other expenses just to keep a home neither of us are living in. I do not get that man's reasoning. He claims to be hurting for money, yet is willing to pay a few extra thousand dollars to get maybe a $1k net payoff that may or may not ever happen. The price that Pendejo wants was one that a home with our identical floorplan in our same neighborhood was recently listed at...for five months. It was dropped to a few thousand more than the price the realtor suggested.
Because of the market, the price the realtor suggested will probably have the house sold in 90 or so days...and that's if the potential buyer she already has lined up doesn't want it.
I'm not surprised really, just annoyed.

Lol...
Dont forget that you get your inheritance portion back to you after the sale of the house BEFORE you split anything with your XH.
