I don't actually begin there until the 24th, so I have another 1.5 weeks before I start the new gig, but we did just accept an offer on our house. Assuming the buyer's home inspector doesn't see anything he doesn't like, we are set on selling our place (paperwork has been signed). 

Not a lot of luck finding a place in GR just yet; we went out last Saturday, but the three places we looked at were disappointing to say the least. 1 had a wet basement, 1 was ok but just needed a ton of updating, and the last one was on a 2 acre lot that had the pitch of a 10/12 roof and would have required mountain goats for lawn maintenance.

Unfortunately for us, the housing market in GR is a seller's market rather than a buyer's market, so stuff is going quicker than we get look at it. Needless to say, we are still looking.

Did someone say goats?

Congrats on the offer, is your agent still showing it and taking back up offers?

Again, I am riding Jon's coat tails. 2 weeks into my new job and the commute is rough with our recent blizzards. Almost 2 hours each way. We have an offer in on a house -- it is a short sale and as such it will take a while for a close to process. 15 acres, much larger house, and close to the city. Win-win-win.

We have had a few more showings on our place (and another in an hour) but no bites. It is going to be rough to sell if we are already having blizzards, I imagine.

Congrats Pork; hope you get the place!

Congrats, any chance you can keep the house and use it as a summer rental and hunting rental to keep it in the family?
