To Market, To Market

So, we put our house on the market today. Yep - we're live on realtor.com and every other realty website that you may use.

This has been in our sights for awhile. We are in no hurry, but we do know that we need to move up and out, and get into something bigger. We're completely out of space and just cramped in with D getting bigger and more stuff, and Penny still being the idiot ball of energy that she is. They need more room to breathe!

We've spent the past month or two getting ready to list, which was quite the task. Our realtor had us replacing light fixtures, painting every inch (except D's room) a blah shade of tan, and removing unnecessary pieces of furniture - which now reside in my in-laws' basement.

We don't know where we'll be going yet...We need to go further North or East or both. Time will tell on that one. We don't know how long we'll be listed or what we can expect to get on our house...the amount of foreclosures or people trying to avoid foreclosure in this economy are dropping the comps in the market making a few houses sell for a ridiculously low cost. On the other hand, a house two doors away sold for a great price in only 7 days on the market a month ago. So - it's a crap shoot. The good news is - we don't have to take a crap offer to get out. We don't need out - we just are seeing if we can get out.

Anywho - here's the description of our house that's online:
SUN SHADE! Covered patio will be a cool, shady retreat on hot summer afternoons...lots of perennials & landscaping, fenced yard with an attractive shed for additional storage space PLUS THE MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS ARE ALREADY DONE, NEW CARPET, NEW SIDING, NEW ROOF~neutral decor throughout~living room with fireplace and recessed lighting~great location near parks & playgrounds~large 2 car detached garage.

The funniest part of the photos online is that Penny snuck her mug in one. Here's a few of the photos that are online of my joint. See if you can find our sneaky little Waldo.
