JUST SOLD! (My House That Is... )

By
Industry Observer with Self Employed

File this under SOLD!

I'm happy to announce that after close to six months of marketing, I just sold my own house.  It was a little underwhelming since it was priced to sell... really. 

Sellers nowadays are under pressure to sell for whatever they can get or be prepared to pay monthly mortgage, insurance, and horrors of all... taxes if the property hasn't sold after one year. 

We didn't want to wait for another six months, so the new homeowners got themselves a great deal, and for what we can tell, they're very excited to move in this house.

 Open House Sunday - 13 Shallowbrook, O'Fallon, IL

And I totally understand.  Best wishes to the new family on 13 Shallowbrook Drive, O'Fallon, IL!

Congratulations on the sale. Especially since the market is rough right now for regular residential properties

Hi, Devin - six months marketing time is not too long, but we don't have to worry about it any more.  Thanks for your comment.

Hello, Preferred - they will I'm sure.  And you're right about the great memories... we're making new ones in our new home, as well.  :)

That should boost your listing in your market. If I can sell my home I can sell yours! Work it!

Great to see your smiling faces, Carl & Ceil!  We already moved in our new house awhile back.  We don't have to take care of the other one anymore.  :)

Have a Merry, merry Christmas to you both and your family!
