I did just that Judy I went over there and gave my stove a hug.
That’s exciting, that your house goes on the market! We tried to do exactly the way you’re doing it, to hold off on offers until one week. But none of the realtors wanted to do that. But the first offer was a good one and then the realtor put out that we were accepting final and best offers. None were as good as the first before the deadline, so we probably got as good as we could have, given the location.
Did you get your pizza oven?
Our longtime Realtor/friend has always said....the first offer is usually the best.
We sold a house, once, where there were bidding wars....but, the first bidders did end up being the highest, in that duel!
Good luck w/the listing and sell, Judy.
If you’re afraid you’ll wear out your welcome, with the kids, just bake/cook everyone’s fave meals, every day. They’ll want you to stay, IN the house, even longer!
