Friday, December 10, 2004 AD Progress Report Met with the realtor this morning. If I sold the house as-is, she thinks I could get as much for it as I could only have dreamed of getting for it three years ago fully repaired -- house prices have gone up that much! If I do the work she suggests (which is pretty much what I expected her to suggest), the price goes up about $25K. Since it won't cost nearly that much to get the work done, I think it's worth the effort. So here's my plan:
I have off work December 18-January 3. During that time I will cart stuff to Goodwill, put all my keeper boxes in the basement, advertise my furniture in the Pennysaver, set up an appointment with the painter (and see if he can do some other small jobs, too), get someone to look at the roof and let me know if that's in good shape, and clean! Then, assuming I can get the necessary work done in the first half of January, we'll get it on the market by the end of January. Things seem to be selling pretty quickly in the neighborhood, so a February or March moving date seems within the realm of possibility! Posted by Valerie (Kyriosity) at 12/10/2004 01:59:00 PM
