10/13/13 Moving

We have been working hard on getting our home ready to sell. Some of our friends moved to a great place on 5 acres and we were so jealous that we have decided to not delay our move to the country. We had a lot of work to do to get our home ready. It took 3 weeks but we got it ready! So far I think we might be a little over prices but people are coming to look at it and we can drop our price whenever we want.
We actually really enjoyed all the hard work. We have had fun looking at and drooling over new properties. Really what matters to us is the land so the things we like have rather different homes on them, or no home at all. I am so excited that I am a little crazy with each home showing. 
We chose a place between Oregon City and Estacada within 10'mimites drive to the Reese's. We put in an offer without even seeing because Derald thought we were just looking at lots of land the day we saw it and the next day when we decided it fit our criteria (treed land with a sunny space for a garden, secluded, 5 or more aceres, within 10 minutes of the Reese's and within 45 minutes of my work and was immediately livable) and was a good price we asked Derald to ask their realtor let us know if they get an offer so it didn't get sold before we saw the house. He asked right then with me on the line and found out (at 3pm) that they had 2 offers and would be deciding at 6pm. Derald was 5 hours away in southern Oregon at a property inspection but got to a town with a Remax office faxed us an offer to sign and got it to the relator in time for ours to be considered. We were chosen and Bryan felt sick the rest of the night due to the hasty decision and not knowing what condition the house was it. It all worked out and we love it here!
