The day we almost sold our home.

We had a friend that was interested in buying our house. We thought this was great and were excited at the prospect of moving into something a little bit bigger. We worked like crazy to get everything ready and in tip top shape. I have to say, the place looks awesome. We even looked at a handful of rental homes and other homes that we could possibly buy. We had decided that our new dream was to live in a tri level! Ha, how the real estate market can impact your dreams.

Then, the appraisal came in. It came in less then what we bought the house for over 6 years ago and 30 thousand dollars later in updates! Not to mention the HOURS and HOURS of hard work and labor mostly done by Matt. Hmmm, that is kind of sad.

Plan B is to get a quote for another bathroom. Two toilets are always better than one! I guess we will just have to think skinny for at least another year and hope that something good happens to the market or we win the next mega millions! I think the boys just might be the most disappointed. They have dreams to live in a house with stairs...

Who wouldn't want to buy this place?

Matt & Beth,

It is still Home Sweet Home. You are very blessed. Your home looks like it came out of a magazine.
You worked so hard to have it look so nice.

Your dreams will come, just not yet.
