As If We Weren't Busy Enough

As if there's not enough going on in this household, it looks like we'll be putting our house on the market. We LOVE our house, the location above all, we just need MORE SPACE!! We met with a realtor over the weekend and a contractor earlier this week, and have a professional stager coming over tonight. So far what we're hearing is good -- we got a very low estimate for doing a bunch of necessary repairs/ painting/ pressure washing / deck staining/ recessed lighting installation / etc, etc. Besides those repairs we're looking at installing granite countertops in the kitchen and getting stainless steel appliances and replacing a few light fixtures. The granite installation also is cheaper than we expected, and hopefully we can find a deal on the appliances as well. After doing all of this and staging properly (the main challenges there I think are going to be pretending we have no baby or dog, and turning my office back into the dining room its supposed to be) the realtor thinks we can actually sell the house for more than we bought it for back in '07... that would be pretty awesome. We're aiming to go on the market March 1... we'll see how this all unfolds!
